Some of these textiles are striped. Others, called chiefâs blankets, are patterned with a combination of stripes, crosses, and diamond shapes. During some periods chemical imports replaced natural dyes, with weavers using yarns manufactured by machine. The bright and lively patterns that resulted are called eye dazzlers . At other times weavers have responded to demands of purchasers and made textiles with natural materials in softer colors that buyers considered more authentic. Navajo artists also work in silver, using methods developed from those first taught to Navajos by a Mexican blacksmith around 1850. Early works in silver include belt buckles and horse gear such as bridles. Today, Navajo people wear intricate silver jewelry including pieces set with turquoise and other stones. They also sell this jewelry to outsiders. Zuni jewelers are known for complex mosaic inlays of colored stones set in complex patterns in their silverwork.

Extractions: Music and Noisemakers: Music is an integral part of aboriginal society, exhibiting great variety among First Nations in Canada. Traditionally, most music has been functional, consisting of songs associated with many aspects of daily life, and with special occasions and events. Music is indispensable to most rituals and ceremonies. Dances of all sorts are accompanied by singing and percussion instruments. Typical musical instruments include rattles, various types of drums and, occasionally, flutes and whistles. (IC; INA)
