Navajo

The Navajo are an Indigenous people primarily based in the southwestern United States who call themselves Diné. The Navajo Nation, spanning Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, is the largest Native American reservation by area in the United States.

The Navajo people intentionally weave a flaw into their textiles. They believe weavers intertwine part of their soul into the fabric, so they leave an escape route called a "spirit line" (Ch'ihónít'i) to keep the weaver's spirit from being trapped inside.
