From the Introduction The time has come to honor the weavers. For over 2,000 years, men and women in the Southwest have woven beautiful textiles, baskets and other fine weavings. The oldest known vegetal fiber twinings and yucca plaited wares may date back over ten millenia. Coiled basketry soon emerged, followed by fabrics from natural plants. Cotton weaving began in Mesoamerica and spread northward in the tradition of Kokopelli. Most of the weavers have remained anonymous up to the present time. Living weavers and their ancient ancestors deserve our respect, inspiring our title, ?Honoring the Weavers.?
