I have read a bunch of stuff on button blankets from the northwest coast but still am lacking on info of how they were made.
Is the red border a certain thinkness for certain robes? have seen everything from a few inches to about 8 inches.
Do the button designs on some borders have a meaning or are they decoration?
Do the borders that go completely around the whole robe have a significance? (usually see only top and sides with a calico spot where it meets your neck?
Are all designs family or clan designs? (i have seen photos of the sun design which was explained as a mourning blanket?
What is the difference between the green blanket and the blue blanket?
A friend of mine became interested in these blankets which in turn got me interested.
Any good websites on it?
thanks
