Answer 1

Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, Native Americans would likely have chosen **cotton** to weave their blankets. Many indigenous peoples in North America, particularly in the southwestern regions, cultivated cotton and were skilled in weaving it into textiles. While sheep wool became more common after the introduction of sheep by Europeans, it was not used before that time.
