Label Text"As I understand it, Chilkat weaving was very secretive and you barely shared it with anybody else--you never let anybody see it in progress--it was such a highly prized skill. Those who had it had great, great prestige, and if you have prestige, you kind of want to hang on to that." (Dorica Jackson, contemporary Chilkat weaver)
