The wood pecker appears in Myths and stories as the character that digs into the harder bodies and stuffs to find the teachings and treasures of creation

this nested diamond pattern is known colloquially in our weaving community as shiísh

for them their dreams were as real as this world that we could see and touch and actually developed special techniques to master their awareness in the world of dreams

The diamond pattern represents the medicine of the snake

just like the wild flowers that emerge from the earth in autumn when dia de muertos takes place

This rug has many stripes that we call the smile pattern

all the little specs represent seeds

The mountain range also offers protection from hurricanes giving us just the "tails" of gentle rains

Governors dressed like jaguars
