The region of weaving on the west side of Navajoland is as large as some Eastern States in the USA. The region is roughly one hundred and twenty by fifty miles, from Coppermine on the west to Chilchinbito on the east, from Kaibito on the north to Tuba City on the south. Other weaving centers in this region are Shanto, Inscription House, Kerley's Trading Post, Camerson, The Gap, Paiute Mesa, Navajo Mountain and Cedar Ridge. For these far-flung communities Tuba City functions as something of a satellite capital.

Comment[1]: Ella Yazzi Bia of White Clay, Arizona, was commissioned to copy a design in Read Mullan's catalog. In six months the job was done but with tiny differences in design.
