In the Spirit of the Ancestors-This is one of the few contemporary weavings made of mountain goat wool. The wool was gathered in the Olympic Mountains and colored with evergreen huckleberries, wolf moss, yellow cedar bark, and salal berries. Susan Pavel, was a student (and niece-in-law) of the late Skokomish leader, Subiyay - Bruce Miller, who founded the Northwest Native American Basketweavers Association.

Spirit of the Ancestors-Many wolf headdresses take this raised snout form. Here the artist has created a hat based on the form of northern Northwest Coast crest hat, using the Nuu-chah-nulth wolf that draws on his own Dit-i-daht artistic and cultural heritage.

The wolf is tail.
