Spider Rock is the home of Spider Woman who\u00a0is highly honored as a deity among the Dine. \u00a0Some say she chose the top of Spider Rock as her home\u00a0and is\u00a0the teacher of weaving. \u00a0On our final day in the canyon, Earth Walks will spend time helping with a variety of needs on the family farm of long time weaver Kathryn Pemala. \u00a0Kathryn will share the practical and mystical meaning of weaving for the Dine.<\/p>\n
