How Navajo Rugs Are Made
Linen unused
Description:
This scene represents the making of a Navajo rug in the Indians' home or Hogan, which is done in the winter time. In summer, the weaving is done outdoors under the shade of a tree. After the wool has been sheared from the sheep, sorted and washed, it is carded, to make the fibers lie in one direction, which is here being done by the small girl in the center. It is then worked into a cord and wound upon a distaff, which is being done by the woman at the left. This operation is repeated many times until the cord has been twisted to the desired fineness and hardness. That which is to be red is then dyed. The last step is the weaving. The manner of weaving and the loom with an unfinished blanket, or rug, are shown at the right. These fabrics, of all wool, and entirely hand-made are becoming greatly appreciated for their wearing qualities no less than their striking beauty

Indian Monument
Painted Post (NY), Linen unused
Description:
PAINTED POST was named from the face that the first white people penetrating this wilderness, found a post standing about 8 feet high, which was claimed to be the resting place of Chief Montour, a son of Catherine Montour, who was wounded at the time of the battle of Fort Freeland. The post was painted in bright colors--no doubt the paint stones being used, as well as the juices of the wild berry. When this wooded post rotted, a tin Indian was put in its place, and later, 1894, a substantial granite monument, which will commemorate for ages the resting place of the great Seneca Indian Chief. Early indications showed that Painted Post was a council meeting place of the six nations. The land all through this locality yielded valuable relics--the finest collection in this part of the state being that of the late FrancisErwin, granson of the founder of the town. Painted Post was first mentioned in history in 1791 in a letter from Gen. Knox to President Washington
