Lily Hope Wove the Governors Awards for the Arts 2024. This work was cut up & given to 12 awardees

Chilkat and Ravenstail ceremonial regalia is woven and worn on the Northwest Coast of Alaska and Canada. The dancing blankets document identity, history, and dreams. When a Chilkat blanket is cut up and given away to dignitaries, this communicates the wealth of the caretaker and the valuable relationships acknowledged by the receivers, who treasure their small part of the whole, in a cultural cycle of reciprocity. This is one of the few times a Ravenstail work has been segmented and shared among many. The designs of all these pieces together include historic patterns of All Our Ancestors and One Within Another, affirming our interwoven identities. Film by Scott Burton, Authentimedia Music By Irene Lampe Writing & Narration by Lily Hope Weaving support by Rae Mills, Melina Meyer, and Amber Lotus Aurora Borealis
