Kutchin Moccasin. (From Original in Peabody Museum.)

Not many of the tribes were real weavers. Handsome cotton blankets and

kilts were woven by the Moki and other Pueblo Indians. Such are still made

by these tribes for their religious ceremonies and dances. Nowadays these

tribes have flocks of sheep and know how to weave good woollen blankets.

Some of the Pueblos also weave long, handsome belts, in pretty patterns of

bright colors. Their rude loom consists of just a few sticks, but it

serves its purpose well, and the blankets and belts are firm and close.
