What stands out in Chilkat weaving is the use of patterns, which is a rare practice in traditional weaves. Interestingly, men would draw the motifs on wood and hand them over to women weavers. It is thought that the motifs are often subjective images of animals driven from male totems and biological archetypes which reflected men’s mental image of themselves. This, however, provided the foundation of the pattern on which women weavers elaborated and added more motifs, completing Chilkat. It sounds as if women approved of men’s will and materialized it.
