Navajo Rug Glossary

Every week or two we will post a few definitions of Navajo rug terms. Some of these Navajo rug terms are more common than others and some are terms that are used primarily by Indian arts dealers. The information on this page is designed to be helpful to the owner or purchaser of Navajo rugs and will include the author's interpretations and explanations in the attempt to clarify the often confusing world of Indian arts and Navajo rugs.

Bosque Redondo Spanish for "circle of trees." Located in eastern New Mexico at Fort Sumner where the Navajos were imprisoned from 1863 to 1868.
Churro Sheep The breed of sheep brought to America by Coronado in 1540 and again in 1598 by Don Juan Ornate. The first wool used by the Navajos for weaving.

Dine The Navajo word for "the people", the term that the Navajo use to refer to themselves.
