Work on the blanket had barely been started when Mona consented to be the chief's squaw. So, / Wedding guests were bidden thither, / To the mating of the lovers; / Friendly Shoshones, decked in feathers / Sat in peace at Mona's wedding. Shortly afterwards, the Navajo braves left for the hunting grounds. None but the very old and the very young stayed with the women. / Then Apaches, savage, vengeful, / Restless through twelve moons of quiet, / Swore the Navajos to battle. The Apaches descended upon the defenseless Navajos and captured them. Mona, however, escaped and went to find the braves of her tribe. While on the journey, her first-born came. It was with their child in her arms that she came upon Gontzo. Wild with anger, Gontzo fell upon the treacherous Apaches, scattering them to the winds. Mona returned to the weaving of the blanket, placing thereon the story of her marriage, the Apache attack, the coming of her first-born, and the Navajo vengeance. Then, / From the East there came a trader / To the village of the valley. He purchased the blanket and later sold it to a wealthy tourist. / And the paleface owner proudly / To his fellows tells the story / Of the patient Mona's weaving. / As the patterns in the blanket, / So the loom of life had fashioned / Joy and sorrow, love and anguish, / In the heart of gentle weaver.
