Navajo design originating in Ganado area of the Reservation. It became known as “Ganado Red” because of the usual red background used in this type rug.

“The community of Ganado has been home to Hubbell Trading Post since the 1870s. Trader J.L. Hubbell encouraged weavers to create rug styles that would sell to his clients. The Ganado Red style emerged from local weavers’ creative responses to his suggestions. The neighboring community of Klagetoh developed a similar style based on a central diamond or other motif encircled by a simple border, but usually with more gray than red.” —Ann Hedlund
