In ancient times, across the lands,
There were tribes with weaving hands,
The Aztecs, Incas, and Guarani too,
Used their skills to make clothes anew.

The Cherokee and Navajo as well,
Knew how to weave and spin and tell,
Stories of their tribe and past,
Through patterns woven that would last.

They used fibers from plants and sheep,
To make fabrics soft and deep,
And with their fingers, they would weave,
A garment to protect and leave.

Who would have thought that long ago,
Weaving was an art to show,
The beauty of a tribe and land,
Through the skill of their own hand.

So let us all learn from their use,
And weave together, no excuse,
For when we create and craft with care,
We honor those who came before and share.

Reflections

2. What materials did the tribes use to make their clothes, and how did they weave them together?
3. Why was weaving an important skill for these tribes, and what did their patterns and designs represent?
4. What can we learn from the legacy of these tribes and their weaving techniques today?
5. Can you think of any other crafts or skills that have been passed down through generations in your family or culture?
