Coast Salish peoples in the Pacific Northwest have been weaving robes, blankets and shawls for centuries. They use wool from wild mountain goats and, in the past, from a dog breed that is now extinct.
The exhibition, Woven in Wool: Resilience in Coast Salish Weaving at the Burke Museum, showcases this artwork and documents how it’s being kept alive.
