A bit of Taos history from @tresestrellastaos & @m

A bit of Taos history from @tresestrellastaos & @markmaggiori
•Repost• “The Sarapes” 27x34”. Oil on linen. “Taos has for centuries been a commerce center within the West. Long before the arrival of Spanish colonists in the 18th Century, it was customary for regional indigenous groups (traditional enemies) to convene under an informal truce in the Taos Valley in the interest of trade and procurement of goods and services. Plains tribes would bring surplus buffalo robes and jerked buffalo to trade with the inter-mountain Ute for their coveted smoke buckskins. Jicarilla Apache people would trade their durable micaceous clay pottery... Pueblo peoples from the Rio Grande Valley to the south would bring their finely woven cotton textiles and surplus corn, beans and dried squash for exchange, along with the customary captive exchange from the year’s traditional raids. When the Spanish colonists settled in New Mexico, they brought churro sheep and the European treadle loom, replacing cotton for wool as the fiber of choice in the Southwest. During the late 17th Century the highly industrious Navajo were learning to weave from their Zuni neighbors, and quickly amassed vast flocks of sheep from raids along the settlements in Northern New Mexico. The Navajo would within a century master and surpass their neighbors in the production of fine woolen textiles, meanwhile encroaching Spanish settlements would appear alongside their Pueblo neighbors, bringing their blanket weaving techniques, along with far more sophisticated and spectacular efforts from weaving centers further south in central Mexico. The Southwest was changing and everybody wanted woven wool wearing blankets. Meanwhile in Taos, the indigenous Pueblo people didn’t need to pursue the arduous discipline of weaving because their neighbors, the Spanish excelled, producing a surplus, and the Navajo to the West were establishing themselves as makers of the finest blankets in the region. On this painting, taking place north of the Pueblo, the two men are proudly clad in a classic rio grande blanket and a Navajo moki sarape, typical of those woven for trade and commonly worn by resident of the Taos Valley.”
