The Storm Pattern traces its origins to one of the most important legends in Navajo culture: the creation of the Navajo homeland.

It is surrounded by four sacred mountains, symbolized on the blanket by rectangles near each corner. The Storm Pattern weaves legends and truths into an intricate pattern of symbol, tradition and beauty.
