Weavers

Katie Furcap


I was born in 1932 and I have been weaving for over 80 years. I like being able to sell my rugs and jewelry to make a living. It has helped me so much when I have needed it. I have been weaving rugs to support myself and my family for so many years. I weave many types of designs of traditional Navajo rugs.

I am from Big Mountain on the Navajo reservation in northern Arizona. I am a traditional elder. I have been brought up on the reservation and have been taught the Navajo way of life.
