Some people (wrongly) consider all Native American tribes to be the same. Even those who know a little about the different tribes in different geographical locations can make the mistake of generalizing the people or their craft. Take Reggie Sanders Jersey , for example, the largest tribe of Native Americans; the Navajo of southwestern USA, one must consider that these people grouped into their own societies hundreds of years ago, before anyone had the ability to travel great distances. Therefore, dozens of different groups of the Navajo people lived not far apart in today聮s perspective, but far enough away back then to maybe never encounter one another. The art and crafts that they produced were similar in as much as being necessities and items that could be found on their land andor traded. Items such as jewelry and clothing were popular Chris Sabo Jersey , and still are today. In addition, Navajo rugs, woven mainly by the women, are beautiful, well-made and can be used or displayed by people in the 21st century.

The more than a dozen trading posts set up well over a century ago can help one to differentiate between the different styles of the Navajo rugs. The designs, colours and weaving methods are the best clues to know where each rug was created.

There are a few similarities between the neighboring weavers聮 Klagetoh rugs and the Ganado rugs of the Hubbell trading post George Foster Jersey , which was founded in 1876 in Arizona, although there are plenty of differences, too. The Klagetoh rugs used larger areas of red and long thin diamond shapes, sometimes with a hook. The slightly different Ganado rugs were inspired by fifty paintings given to Lorenzo Hubbell for his weavers to work from. A bold cross design and lots of vibrant reds are synonymous with Ganado rugs.

Twenty years after the Hubbell trading post was founded, J B Moore founded the Crystal trading post in western New Mexico. The rugs from this area are quite different, yet still beautiful and extremely high quality. They are almost Persian-looking and use black Pete Rose Jersey , gray, white, brown and red. Another difference is the way in which they were promoted. J B Moore created catalogues containing 32 designs and sent these catalogues out three times over a period of eight years at the beginning of the 20th century. The method was successful and his rugs were well-received.

TeecNos Pas rugs are quite different again. They include up to fifteen colors and their intricacy and expression helps them to be sold for much higher prices than many other Navajo rugs.

Rugs from the Two Gray Hills area are also very special. The women there raise their own sheep for the wool and have the most complex designs and highest warp counts. The colors are more natural than some of the others in this part of the USA. Although the individual rugs woven by an older weaver can fetch high prices, there are also plenty of more affordable rugs available.

The weavers of Chinle rugs in the second decade of the 20th century were encouraged to omit borders and use local plants for their dyes. This resulted in more pastel-like colors.

Finally, there were transitional rugs woven in the 19th century. These were larger and thicker than regular rugs and also more puffy. Most of them were woven in the Ganado style.

So, one can now see that among the Navajo people there were many different designs in the art and craft especially in Navajo rugs. The trading posts gave them opportunities to exchange their work for necessities Dave Concepcion Jersey , and this practice still continues to the present day.

Report this articleDriving for haulage companies might not seem like the most glamorous of jobs, but all you truckers out there should know that you're in great company! Not all of the world's rich and famous start out at the top, and there's more than a few who earned their living from driving before they hit the big time.

Elvis - the King? Or the King of the Road?

Actually he was both, God rest his soul. A year after graduating from high school, Elvis Presley started working as a truck driver for the Crown Electric Company. He was either so good at his job or gave such an awful audition that Eddie Bond, the leader of his friend's professional band Barry Larkin Jersey , suggested that he stick to truck driving as he was 'never going to make it as a singer.' Well, what can we say, except that soon afterwards haulage companies around the world must have been ruing the day that he cut that first record!

Sean Connery

Now, Sean Connery might have driven some pretty snazzy cars in his role as James Bond, but it wasn't always that way. Amongst a variety of jobs which included labourer, artist's model and coffin polisher no less Joe Morgan Jersey , he too was a lorry driver who must have had the owners of the haulage companies in Scotland crying into their beer!

Chris Tarrant

You won't find him working for haulage companies now, but the radio broadcaster and TV presenter who is probably best known as the host of the game show 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' also served his time behind the wheel. Before making it big in the world of television, he worked as a long distance lorry driver, a security officer and a school teacher. These days you're more likely to find him behind a fishing rod than the wheel of a lorry.

Chevy Chase

Funny man Cornelius Crane - 'Chevy' Chase - might be better known nowadays as an award-winning writer, comedian and actor, but he can actually lay claim to a truly impressive range of previous occupations in his earlier days. Mr Chase did everything from waiting on tables and working in the construction industry Johnny Bench Jersey , to working as an audio engineer, a busboy, a theatre usher, a produce manager in a supermarket, a salesman in a wine store, a motorcycle messenger and yes Yasiel Puig Reds Jersey , you've guessed it, a truck driver.
