The Hopi and most other Pueblo societies in the southwestern United States have regarded weaving as predominantly if not exclusively a male occupation. These photographs, taken at Hopi near the turn of the 20th century, show Hopi men carding and spinning wool yarn and weaving a blanket on a traditional vertical loom.
