Ravens Tail Style Medicine Pouch

description

I created this as part of a weekend-workshop hosted by the Aboriginal Program office.  Cheryl Samuel provided an introduction to Raven's Tail weaving, which is a traditional weaving technology from the Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida peoples. Through marriage, the right to learn this technology and method (as well as the family crest designs that go with it) came to be with the Kwagiulth people.

I wanted to learn this style of weaving so I can one day weave regalia for my brother, niece and nephews who come from the lineage that holds these rights.
