    Many native tribes used finger weaving, sans inkle loom and I suspect there may be a native influence in the French Canadian versions.
    I'm not sophisticated enough to know if the example in the OP is done on a loom or by hand.

    Hm. From the picture in the link, that appears to be what I would know as "backstrap weaving."

    The patterns on the OP are pretty easy to do on an inkle loom.
