As a nádleehí, or "changing one," Hastíín Klah was an expert healer (a male role) and a weaver (a female art). In the 1920s, he combined these skills to produce large tapestries with religious designs, transforming Navajo weaving from a craft to a fine art. He is remembered today as a co-founder of the Wheelwright Musuem of the American Indian in Santa Fe.
