What a gift you have given us. Everything you do here, from the way you load your stick to the way you handle each stitch, is different from what I know. Such a privilege to watch and learn from you.

That is so different from the French Canadian technique that I was taught. We would usually work from the center to the left edge, then flip the work over and going from the middle to the edge again. I'm really keen to try this method! 𐓍𐒰𐒿𐒻͘

I sincerely thank you for this video. My ancestors, the Acadians of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, I've been doing a lot of research on my heritage as a Cajun of Louisiana. They were taught this finger weaving by the Wabinaki (Mi'kmaq, Abenaki, Paliseet, I'm not sure which), and wore the sash Ceinture Fléchée for warmth. We didn't keep making these after being shipped back to France by the English, we had no need, and many who knew how probably died. Then we reconnected with our kin in Louisiana, and eventually became Cajun. I've been reconnecting to the Acadian heritage despite 250 years of dispersion, but I'm also trying to be very sensitive of Metis and Wabinaki culture. And I've been talking with Indigenous activists, who I try to support and learn to be respectful of as a white, and swore an oath to be careful learning this, and never to sell one or give them away. Most of this I've been forcing myself to learn on my own, the hard way, but to make an arrow instead of a chevron, I couldn't figure it out. I hope this is okay with you? Please tell me if it is not, I want to be mindful.

Apologies, I've continued finding literature on the matter, and found notes that the arrow pattern likely first appeared in the 1790s. This would have been after the British burned our homes in L'Acadie, so we probably were not using this pattern! I will probably not use it, I don't want to steal what does not belong to me. Apologies again! I hope your traditions and families stay strong.
