The Bear Gatherer pattern was designed by Aboriginal artist Corrine Hunt. The bear was the clan symbol of Corrine's great-great grandmother, Anisalaga. Descended from a line of powerful Chiefs, Anisalaga would spend nearly a year weaving a single blanket to be worn only by noble family members. Anisalaga wove 13 of these "chilkat robes" but only three remain in the Hunt family. Corrine has been working on a film to document the other robes. One was recently repatriated by the Umista Cultural center in Alert Bay with funds from the Canadian Government's National Treasures Fund.
