When I was in elementary school, I was a pen pal to a Navaho girl who lived in a hogan during the summer with her family and in a dormitory while she was in school. I have never been in a hogan so I am interested in Navaho ruins and hogans. Here are some pictures of ruins and a reconstructed hogan where I met this Navaho woman docent who invited me inside the hogan.
I was surprised to see that the inside was made of Juniper logs that were woven like an upside-down basket. She carded and spun the wool and was making this blanket. She doesn’t live here. She lives in a mobile home in town.
The scenery outside her door was spectacular.
