We are very happy to start the new year by offering this very rare Navajo (Dine) Late Classic blanket that dates to Bosque Redondo, where the Navajo were held by the US Army from 1863-1868. This was a terrible time for the Navajo who were uprooted from their homes and forced to walk what is known as “The Long Walk” to a camp near Fort Sumner. Supplies were scarce and conditions were harsh, so the Navajo were dependent on wools supplied to them by the US Army.
