<p>Takaji Datiao,</p>
<p>i viewed the photos of your loom. It looks great! Will you be posting images of the naguas as you weave them? I used to own a 36 inch floor loom but sold it about 10 years ago because I was moving, so I have some experience with weaving. I am interested in your posts. Thank you for sharing.</p>

It is part of a bulletin published by U.S. Government Printing Office. It seems to refer to the South American Arawaks. In order to see the complete text, you have to buy it, however.Title is: Handbook of South American Indians, Bulletin Issue 143, Part 5. I am including a link to the page below. If the link doesn't work, try doing a Google search using the title above. If the South American Arawaks used a loom, maybe the Caribbean Tainos also used one, maybe to weave cloth.<br/></span></div>
