Warning this has nothing to do with feral cats.

Edit for biz reasons.

Thats cool. Just think of all the old Navajo stories that have been told on that blanket. Way cool.

Very interesting. Those connections with the past are so intriguing.

Thanks folks.
I know many of you here enjoy the Native history of this state, so I thought I'd share something truly rare.
Even more rare than most prehistoric pottery.
These blankets were in so much demand from the Plains chiefs, military officers and others, that in the 1830's a Navajo wearing blanket sold for a $50 gold coin. Many of these are in museums, seen only by a few, so it's really cool to see one that's original and has been out of the public eye for all these years.
It's kinda like an archaeological find and now I get to document it.

And then what will happen to it? Think it will go on display somewhere? Or the story be written up?

I was going to say I didn't think you were that Capitalistic but with the Paypal thing, I'm not so sure now...

I didn't want anyone here to think any less of me than they already do.

Joe could make you Feral Scat Kopelli.

Just curious, you all can go back to doing what you do best.. ;)
