- By this point in the semester we have the basis of a small industry whose primary motivation is the production of textiles. Sheep are being raised for their wool, wool is spun into yarn, soda ash, lime, and lye are produced to feed a soap industry, and the primary use of soap is to wash the yarn in preparation for dyeing. While these colored yarns may be used simply as tassels in primitive garments, they become even more important if the yarn is to be woven into cloth. There the colored yarns can be used to make patterns within the cloth which can convey status or social position. The device which weaves yarn into cloth is called a loom.

Haida |
Canada - Western |
- Early engravings by Russian artists depict north coast chiefs wearing woven hats painted with formline crest designs at the period of first contact. Haida women excelled in basketry, making not only woven hats but baskets and mats; hats were woven on a stand with a wooden form appropriate to each size and shape. Male artists painted the hats with the crests of the commissioning family; the colours of paint were restricted to red and black - The Canadian Museum of Civilization.
