Frames Choctaw traditional knowledge of textile production as sleeping, and article focuses on its reawakening, through discussion of Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's then-new workshops and programs to conduct experimental archaeological research. Article offers an overview of existing literature on traditional Choctaw textile production, a description of how the program articulates this literature with traditional knowledge through direct testing, and offers reflections on the significance of the program to participants.
