About this title

Synopsis

Originally published by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1940, this is a collection of authentic recipes for rendering dyes from native Southwest plants used for the dyeing of wool for rugs. The book contains a guide to identifying plants. Recipes were formulated by Nonabah Bryan, a Navajo, and compiled by Stella Young of the Home Economics Department at Wingate Vocational High School.
