Chilkat weaving is the absolute pinnacle of fiber art, and Anna Brown Ehlers is *the* master weaver.

Japan has a system where skilled traditional craftspeople and performers are recognized as “Living National Treasures”. These are people who have mastered their art and ensure that traditional techniques are kept alive and passed on. The tangible objects they create are masterpieces of great value, but their intangible skills and knowledge are priceless. It is a great honor to be a Living National Treasure, and the Japanese government has a specific grant to subsidize these artists so that they can continue to create and enrich the culture of Japan.

Indigenous artists deserve this level of recognition and support. Anna Brown Ehlers and Jennie Thlunaut were both awarded heritage fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, but that is really insufficient recognition for the work they’ve done to preserve and revive and teach the art of Chilkat weaving. Not only the weaving technique, but also the art of formline design itself.

I have very strong emotions on this topic.

no animal was harmed during the making of this video. not one. for the few minutes that we were shooting film, the guns of each hunter fell silent. the industrial bolt throwers observed a moment's peace and the jaws of every predator hung softly open. no fish bit any hook and the bait worms held off on drowning only until the cameras stopped. the tails of ruminants ceased to flick just as their attendant flies, in unison, landed on their flanks to catch their tiny breaths. a spider instantly stopped winding silk around a wasp, patiently waiting for the caesura to end. a young veterinarian paused with the syringe in their hand. somewhere, a colicky baby stopped biting its mother's nipple and nursed happily for the very first time. we're sorry. we're sorry it couldn't have been longer. we didn't know this would happen.
