"Tribute to My Grandmother Mary Ebbets, Anislaga" was designed by George Hunt, Jr.,  a renowned woodcarver of the Kwakiutl tribe of Vancouver Island.  Mr. Hunt. Jr. dedicated the design to his great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Ebbits, or Anislaga.  As Tlingit legend has it, Anislaga was the living link between the ancient culture and contemporary tribal weaving traditions.  In ceremonies the blanket is "danced," bringing to life the story of how Mankind was taught to weave by Raven, Lynx, Sea Monster and Bear. When worn these sacred images surround the wearer.
