Anna wove this blanket to be cut and destroyed in the traditional way at her father's koo.eex. The weaving was cut into pieces shortly after these photos of the complete weaving were taken. Having a blanket cut in his honor was one of his final wishes. The pieces of the blanket were distributed to the Raven guests.
