A short video taken in 2009 showing the basic technique of the back strap loom, a traditional weaving method used by the Montagnard Dega people. This video is part of a project documenting the Montagnard Dega in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA. The Montagnard Dega community in North Carolina's Piedmont are the largest population in existence outside of their Central Highlands home in Vietnam.
