Answer 1

Weaving is the art of textile production using two yarns woven at a right angle. Indigenous peoples developed different techniques and used natural materials to create baskets and mats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weaving is the art of textile production where two yarns are woven at a right angle to create fabric or cloth. The warp yarn is attached to the loom, and the weft yarn is woven through the alternating warp yarns to create a pattern.

Indigenous peoples developed various weaving techniques, such as right twist, left twist, overlay, and false embroidery, which resulted in unique decorative styles.

Natural materials like cattail, tule, juncus, hazel branches, cedar bark, bear grass, spruce roots, willow, and maidenhair fern were used to create baskets and mats. Dyeing the weaving materials added complex color variations.
