Woman's Dance Robe, previously owned by Lixwelut

This woman’s dance robe is woven from a blend of fibers, including mountain goat wool, sheep’s wool, and cotton. It was once owned, and possibly made, by Lixwelut whose English name was Mary Agnes Capilano. Artist Mildred Valley Thornton donated this weaving to the museum in 1944, several years after the death of Lixwelut.
