These leggings were woven by Teri Rofkar's mother, who is a multi-talented artist living in Sitka, Alaska. She utilizes traditional Ravenstail patterns of concentric boxes, with spiral weft vertical borders and compact twined top and bottom designs. Marie notes that her granddaughter, Violet, is the seventh generation weaver in their family.
