Native American Textile Art

Native American textile art encompasses a rich tradition of weaving, embroidery, and rug-making that holds cultural and spiritual significance. Artisans create intricate patterns and designs using natural fibers like cotton, wool, and plant materials, often reflecting their community’s history, beliefs, and environment. Techniques such as Navajo rug weaving and Hawaiian kapa cloth showcase craftsmanship passed through generations. These textiles serve functional purposes and act as symbols of identity, storytelling, and craftsmanship, symbolizing a deep connection to land, ancestors, and cultural identity.
