Ganado

Lorenzo Hubbell told the weavers in his area they could weave rugs in any color as long as it was red. Thus, the origin of the first "regional style" Navajo weaving pattern. Today, "Ganado Reds" are still characterized by their deep crimson background, with one or two central diamonds of red, black, white and gray. They have a strong border, usually black, and the interior pattern includes other bold geometric designs. Hubbell Trading Post itself has become a National Monument with informative public tours.

South of the Ganado region of the reservation, another pattern developed. A Klagetoh is almost a Ganado in reverse. The red background of Ganado becomes gray in a Klagetoh. There is often only one elongated central diamond with black, red, white and gray accent colors. The Klagetoh Trading Post no longer exists. All that remains is a small settlement and a convenience store.
