Spanish and Native Americans Exhibits

The Spanish-Indian Room is filled with beautiful rugs, Indian finery, Sioux beadwork, Pueblo pottery, and basketry.

The rug shown below is of special interest because of the "Four Winds" symbol. The use of this pattern by the Navajos was discontinued after the 1930s, when it was adopted by Adolph Hitler.

An early Santos hangs on the south wall, with the handsome family Bible, written in Spanish, displayed in a glass case.

Beautiful shawls, Spanish and Indian blankets, and very old local arrow points, artifacts, and pottery are in this room.
