During John Wesley Powell鈥檚 epic western adventures during the late 1860s and early 1870s, including a pioneering float trip down the Colorado River, he collected Native American blankets.

Some of Powell鈥檚 rare and priceless blankets are part of the CU Museum of Natural History Joe Ben Wheat collection, considered one of the finest Southwest textile collections in the world. Visitors can view portions of the collection in the revolving exhibit聽Navajo Weaving: Diamonds, Dreams, Landscapes聽on display in four-month installations through May 30, 2010.

Wheat was the museum鈥檚 anthropology curator between 1953 and 1987. He studied textiles created by the Navajo and Pueblo Indians, collecting about 900 weavings and crucial information about Native American history, art and tradition.
