La tradicion textil guane, acumulada a lo largo de los milenios, fue asumida como un don de sus dioses… tejían para “re – crearse” y como forma de realizar sus necesidades, lo que les permitía tener un “buen vivir”.
Para los guane, las mantas no eran solo abrigo… los diseños y colores eran simbolos de edad, condición y oficio. En sus tejidos reflejan su estructura social y cultural.
Se entregaban mantas a los caciques como tributo, a los deportistas como premio y basados en la complementariedad de las producciones de los diferentes grupos étnicos de la región, se desarrollo un importante comercio, en el que los guane intercambiaban sus tejidos por alimentos, oro y sal.

The Guano textile tradition, accumulated over millennia, was taken as a gift from the gods ... they would weave for "fun" and as a way to make their needs , allowing them to have a "good life" .
For the Guanos , the blankets were not only a form of shelter and warmth ... the designs and colors were symbols of age , condition and function. In their fabrics they reflect their social and cultural structure.
Blankets were given to the chiefs as tribute, to athletes as a reward and based on complementarity in production of different ethnic groups in the region , it became an important trade development , in which they exchanged their textiles for food , gold and salt.
