- FIRE LEGEND Fire Bringers are heroes, from Prometheus in classical Greece, to Manabozho, the Chippewa trickster. Manabozho journeyed to the home of an old man who hoarded fire, and changed himself into a small, shivering rabbit. The man’s daughters set him by the hearth, where he caught a spark on his fur and raced back to his people before it went out. This pattern shows combs and shawls warming by a hearth to celebrate the gift of fire.
- SPIDER ROCK The pinnacles of Spider Rock stand with dignity and splendor in Arizona’s Canyon de Chelly National Park. This sandstone spire is a place of enormous importance to the Native American inhabitants of the area. It is said to be the home of Spider Woman, or Na'ashjé'íí Asdzáá, the deity who taught mankind the art of weaving. This pattern pays tribute to the skilled Native weavers who have been producing works of woven art for many centuries.
- STAR WATCHERS Since ancient times, humanity has practiced astronomy to predict the arrival of the brightest stars. Some of the oldest monuments, like Stonehenge and Chaco Canyon, are observatories that forecast celestial events. The Pawnee people of the Central Plains honored the Pleiades Cluster, and believed the Pole Star was a protective chief who shone highest in the night sky. Their lodges and villages dedicated one corner of each village to the Evening Star.
- WYETH TRAIL In 1834, stories of the Western frontier drew a Massachusetts inventor named Nathaniel Wyeth to the Oregon territories. The Wyeth Trail did not lead its namesake to fame and fortune, but his path endured to become part of the Oregon Trail’s 2,170 miles. With a balanced pattern of peaks, this pattern shows a perilous trail passing through dry plains, fertile valleys, and pristine rivers, surrounded on both sides by the beautiful mountain ranges of Oregon
