The program allows local youth, member’s children, and any oth- er interested youth to learn basketry and hopefully become our future master weavers. Please plan on staying with any young children, for example first grade and lower age range, because we don’t have extra personnel to help supervise them; but if your children are older grade schoolers and higher please plan on having them attend The youth but they will need to register their name, age, hometown and tribal affiliation as applicable. Youth Track participants will receive a grey ticket when checking in at the Youth Track room en- trance, which they can give to a Youth Track teacher to begin their project. Session time 9-11:30 & 12-2:30, please pick up your youth for during the break so our instructors can have lunch. Youth Instructors Teaching Elders First Last Tribe Keeyana Alawiikt Yellowman Warm Springs Larissa McConvile Warm Springs Charice McConville Warm Springs Weaving the traditions and culture from the past to present is the work of the Northwest Native American Basketry Association (NNABA) as we follow our mission to preserve, promote, and perpetuate the traditional art of our Pacific Northwest Native American basketry. Traditional basket weavers from Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest organized the first Annual Gathering of Basket Weavers in 1995. Since then, the Association has worked to increase the respect showed this important cultural art form by providing opportunities for weavers to study bas- ketry and showcase their work in a healthy social, cultural, spiritual, and economic environment for native basketry. For the past 22 years NNABA’s efforts have brought more recognition, respect, and interest to this beautiful form of art through organizing an Annual Gathering of basket weavers honoring Master Na- tive American Basket Weavers to lead our weavers teaching weavers program to 700 members resid- ing in WA, OR, ID, MT, and BC representing 50 tribes. The Annual Gathering moves to a different tribal location each year in Washington, Oregon, and Ida- ho. Moving the Gathering allows members of all tribes to participate without incurring prohibitive travel expenses. It also allows us to showcase local weaving specialties and honor the finest local weavers. As our family of member weavers grows and ages, we recognized the need to educate our youth by not only emphasizing youth involvement through learning basketry in our Youth Track program which has grown significantly to 200 but by teaching. We have added an important element to our pro- grams to perpetuate our art and our organizational goals with the introduction of our Youth Instruc- tors Teaching Elders program.

  • The Study of Coast Salish Weaving Began with the Remarkable

    The Study of Coast Salish Weaving Began with the Remarkable

    Classic Salish Twined Robes Katharine Dickerson he study of Coast Salish weaving began with the remarkable work of Oliver N. Wells, who was born in 1907. He was a farmer and an amateur ethnographer, and was a third generation member Tof the Wells family, who lived on a farm near Chilliwack in the lower Fraser Valley. Oliver Wells grew up among the Stó:lō, the nearby Coast Salish people, and he was one of the few settler British Columbians who appreciated their Native neighbours and sought to understand and record their ways. His slim self-published booklet, Salish Weaving Primitive and Modern as Practiced by the Salish Indians of South West British Columbia (1969) is the point of departure for all subsequent studies of Coast Salish weaving. Wells divided his study into two chronological categories: primitive and modern. The former comprised all Salish weaving (including blankets, cloaks, straps and belts, aprons, mats, and baskets) before its virtual demise and eventual modern revival (for which he was partly responsible) during his own day. He did not explore the progressive penetration of external influences on the Indigenous weaving tradition beginning shortly after European contact. This was first attempted by Carolyn Marr in a little known master’s thesis that she completed in 1979 at the University of Denver.1 Marr associated what she called “organized blankets” with the new wealth produced in the maritime- and land-based fur trades,2 and with two-strand twining, or tapestry, weaving – a broad categorization that does not take into account the difference between traditional Salish weaving and its successors, which were influenced by European contact.

    Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’S Package

    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.

Much that they were proud of still remains, but goes unnoticed by those who have not the eyes to see nor the desire to comprehend.1 ~ Oliver Wells, 1965 I feel free when I weave. ~ Frieda George, 2010 When aboriginal women of south western British Columbia, Canada undertook to revisit their once prolific and esteemed ancestral textile practices, the strand of cultural knowledge linking this heritage to contemporary life had become extremely tenuous. It is through an engagement with cultural memory, painstakingly reclaimed, that Coast Salish women began a revival in the 1960s. It included historically resonant weaving and basketry, as well as the more recent adaptive and expedient practice of knitting.

Background As you are aware, the Project will unjustifiably infringe upon and visit long-term and irreparable impacts to Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s (TWN) Aboriginal title, rights, and interests. TWN maintains the position that even if concerns that fall within provincial jurisdiction are addressed in this process, they will not address the very serious concerns that TWN has regarding the impacts to, and unjustified infringements of, TWN’s Aboriginal title and rights identified in TWN’s independent Trans Mountain Assessment Report, and in the expert reports and documents that TWN has filed with the National Energy Board and Canada during two rounds of Phase III consultation. TWN’s Trans Mountain Assessment Report is available online at www.twnsacredtrust.ca/assessment-report-download/. Moreover, TWN maintains its position that the provincial Ministers’ decision to issue the Environmental Assessment certificate (EAC) is an unjustified infringement of TWN’s Aboriginal title and rights.

    Business and Community Building in the Coast Salish Weaver's Guild

    Ethnohistory Field School Report 2015 “It’s in my Blood”: Business and Community Building in the Coast Salish Weaver’s Guild 1970-1985 Sarah Nason University of Victoria The Ethnothistory Field School is a collaboration of the Stó:lō Research and Resource Management Centre, Stó:lō Nation & Stó:lō Tribal Council, and the History Departments of the University of Victoria and University of Saskatchewan. Towards the end of my visit at the Coqualeetza Cultural Education Centre at Squiala First Nation in Chilliwack, I noticed a posting labelled, “Revival of Stó:lō Salish Weaving.” It advertised classes to new and experienced First Nations weavers, as well as a weekend Salish weaving retreat that would take place the following month. Since I was visiting Chilliwack to do research on a society that formed as a result of the 1960s and 70s Coast Salish weaving “revival”, I was surprised to see this effort to, once again, restore this important Stó:lō art. Through my research, I discovered that the possession of knowledge in weaving was (and still is) more than just an opportunity to make money, it is a way bring people together and preserve the cohesiveness of the Stó:lō Coast Salish communities while, at the same time, providing personal comfort and healing. This is an important reason why weaving has become an art that many individuals from the Stó:lō Coast Salish Nation strive to maintain with genuine concern that it will, once again, die out. Rather than the topic of the weaving revival of the late twentieth century, my paper concentrates on the society of the Salish Weavers – also known as the Salish Weaver’s Guild.

    Stó:Lō Salish Weaving

    Stó:lō Salish Weaving (4-12) Lesson Plan (1 ½ hours High School, 2 ½ hours Middle School, Whole Day Elementary) Materials Needed: Prepped looms Blanket Cut wool strips for students Spindle whorl wood Pictures Students need to clear their desks and put chairs on both sides of the desk on each half of the loom. Introduction: 1. Introduce Yourself Introduce yourself (name, title, where you are from, who you are as an Indigenous Person) Acknowledge the territory. “We acknowledge that we reside on the traditional ancestral unceded shared territory of the Sumas and Matsqui First Nations, Sumas and Matsqui First Nations have lived in the Fraser Valley for at least 10,000 years. Ask who are Indigenous people? (Answer: 3 groups, First Nations Métis and Inuit People). 2. Introduce the Presentation Today we are going to be doing Salish Weaving. In elementary school we do mini blankets or a coaster. Weaving was an activity quite popular among Indigenous people. Different materials such as rabbit fur with the hide, Inuit with sea lime grass or sweet grass in Saskatchewan are used elsewhere. 1. In the Stó:lō communities the Wooly dog was used (show picture). The Wooly dogs were raised and owned by the women. In spring their fur would get cut because they didn’t need their fur in the summer. 2. Can anyone think of another resource the Stó:lō people used for wool? (Answer: Mountain Goat). Here is a picture (Show picture). Mountain goats live in Hope and Chilliwack areas. In the spring they lose their fur and it gets caught on the lower vegetation.
