Description
Clipping reads: "Miguelito, gray-haired chief of the Navajo Indians and living with members of his tribe at the Frontier Centennial grounds, points to a representation of a ladder by which his people believe man emerged from the earth to live on its surface. The ladder, reaching down into a hole in the earth, is on a rare blanket patterned from a Navajo sand painting titled, 'The Emergence of the Navajo from the Earth.' With Miguelito is his daughter, Althnabah, who has woven three small ceremonial rugs and plans some day to weave one like that on which she and her father are sitting." Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram evening edition, August 21, 1936. [Negative is deteriorated.]
