Chapter 1 Searching for Help
Once, the Navajo people did not know how to weave.The winters were very cold where they lived.It was too cold to go out and collect plants or hunt animals.The Navajo became weak from lack of food.
Two women knew they must do something to help their people.They decided to ask the wise ones for help. But wise ones lived in a village far, far away.
The two women set off on their journey. After some time, they became lost in a deep canyon.They sat down on a large rock. "Help!" they called out hopelessly. "Someone help us!"
Suddenly, a tall woman appeared on the cliff high above them.She wove a strong web, and threw it down over the women.Then she pulled them all the way up to the top of the cliff.
"I am Spider Woman. Why have you come to annoy me?" a loud voice asked them.
"Our people are cold and hungry," said one of the women. "Can you help them?"
"I will help," said Spider Woman. "But you must do everything I tell you."
Spider Woman wove another strong web. She threw it down into the canyon and over a tree.She tugged at the web and tore the tree out of the ground.She pulled it back up the cliff. Then she broke off four thick branches.She used the branches to make a square frame.After that, she wound her special threads up and down over the frame.
"You will use this loom," she said.
