History of The Post

By the sheer will and spirit of its traders and the Navajo people, Teec Nos Pos has endured for nearly a century as a lone outpost on these lands.  More importantly, it’s one of the last of the family-owned and operated posts on the Navajo Reservation

Their hands are strong, and each has a will to create that is unbending regardless of their age.  Their methods are worlds and generations apart. The three weavers are Mary Redhouse (b. 1910), Lucy Whitehorse (b.1926) and Roy Kady (b.1965)
