Subi Nalon

The late Subi Nalon, one of the great Tboli dreamweavers who can make the Ye Kumu.

"Legends (oral stories handed down through the ages) claim that the Ye Kumu (mother blanket) was first created for Tudbulul (epic hero, a warrior of immense wealth) by his sisters headed by Kenaban.

Only a handful of weavers are gifted by Fu Dalu (tnalak spirit mentor) to create the Ye Kumu."
