Heart Rug
This is what we like to refer to as a Heart Rug. Whether it's due to age or other infirmities, as our weavers get older they are frequently no longer able to weave a perfect rug as they once did. Nevertheless the urge to weave remains as well as the need for self-support. These rugs represent the heart of the weaver, and when you touch the rug you feel the hands of the weaver.

Yá’át’ééh! I am Elvira Horseherder. My mother is Ruth Benally. She taught me how to weave. I started weaving at the age of seven. My late grandmother, Sadie Robinson, taught me how to card and spin wool and how to color the wool with plants and trees. When she got old, she told me to go do it on my own. So, today, I always weave.
I have been selling my rugs at the Adopt-A-Native-Elder rug show for over 30 years and it is the only place I sell my rugs. Rug sales really help me to buy what I need for winter. It helps with everything—to buy water, to buy hay to save my sheep and give me wool for weaving.
We are so thankful and happy for the Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program. I have cried and prayed because I feel I cannot give anything back. It is a blessing. So I just pray for your Rug Show, that it keeps going today, tomorrow, and always. Thank you very, very much, you feed us with all that.
Your grandmother,
Elvira
