Hoaboldm, Lorraine Kahle, began teaching at the Totem Heritage Center in 1993. Her classes have included vests, collars, hats, and octopus bags.

This bag is made of smoked moose and deer hide, and trimmed in dyed rabbit fur. The Raven design was created by Floyd Guthrie. Kahle uses a beading technique that raises the pollen off the surface to bring a realistic quality to the flowers.
