Navajo weaver
Navajo weaver Eekhpah (Coming Again Woman) talked about the customs of her people. “Our women keep busy,” she explained, “with making blankets and rugs. We get wool from our sheep, comb and card it, and then spin it on that.” She pointed to a distaff, a remnant of the ancient type of spinning wheel. On marriage and divorce. Eekhpah said divorce among the Navajos consists in separation without benefit of a court decree. Marriage also takes place without a ceremony. The common procedure is for the Navajo maiden and her lover to begin living under the same shelter, thereby announcing to the clan they are married. Occasionally, after the first child is born they have a marriage ceremony.
