The Indian and Mexican Buildings at Albuquerque, New Mexico, houses the finest, rarest, and most interesting collection of Indian and Mexican handiwork in this country. In this building you can see Indian women carding, spinning and dyeing wool and weaving blankets. The men making primitive silver ornaments. All this carried on in the very crude way handed down by generations long past.

The Navaho silversmiths learned their art centuries ago from Mexico and there has been comparatively little change in either method or tools, the art being maintained in pure form by them. The geometric forms that prevail in the designs usually have a significance.
