“Betty Roan works in the banded Wide Ruins style of her home community. This style is known for its range of plant-dyed colors and the intricate patterning arranged without a border. Betty's daughters, who are excellent weavers too, weave in both Wide Ruins and the bordered Burntwater rug styles.” —Ann Hedlund
