Segments on today’s show:
Lily Hope teaches weavers across the country to weave Chilkat. She is currently hosting a two-week intensive workshop of weavers working to finish a child-size Chilkat ceremonial blanket. This moment is significant because the workshop is increasing the number of weavers that have the knowledge to weave full-size ceremonial regalia.
On today’s Juneau Afternoon, Lily and two fellow weavers join Volunteer Host Andy Kline to discuss the workshop and its culminating “First Dance Ceremony” on Feb. 1, where 20 robes will be danced.
Special Note: On Feb. 3, the robes will be displayed in a show, “For Our Children: Chilkat Regalia Woven in the Lineage of Jennie Thlunaut and Clarissa Rizal” at the Juneau-Douglas Museum.
