Location:   12 Miles south of Ganado, near the Defiance Plateau, Arizona.

THE RUG:   An area identified with the Ganado, but sometimes subdivided into a separate regional style center is Klagetoh to the south.  The familiar red, black, gray-white influence is evident.   In contemporary weaves, the Klagetoh rug has not achieved the individualism to warrant regional recognition. 

Klagetoh Trading Post has achieved some measure of publicity from retailers calling a certain type of Ganado, a ‘Klagetoh'.  Some current arguments insist that the ‘Klagetoh' is more sophisticated than the Ganado; that there is more design and complication in pattern; utilization of both vegetal and aniline dyes; elimination of the Classic crosses and diamonds; less red, more black, and so forth.
