The manner ofweaving is shown in Fig. 8d. The same technique, but upon thread, isused by all the Woodland tribes for long narrow bands of beadwork andeven occurs in some modern beadwork from Central America. Thelatter have still another variety in which the weft is carried across thewarp, Vdike, resulting in a band with a central rib. u AMERICAN MUSEUM GUIDE LEAFLETS.
