The pattern, a painted board, was designed by the men and represented clan or lineage crests. The weaving, by the women, was on a single bar loom; the materials used were cedar bark and goat wool. It took about one year to weave a single blanket. Source: The Handbook of North American Indians, 1990, v. 7, p. 216.
