Salish Weavers Guild
The Salish Weavers Guild was created in 1971 and ended around 1990. The society had two shops located in Sardis, Chilliwack in the province of British Columbia, Canada. The Salish Weavers Guild was a formal society focused on the production and sales of local Salish Weavers from all areas of Stó:lō territory in and around the Fraser Valley. The Guild was successful in inspiring Stó:lō culture, art, education, and community and came as a result of the Salish Weaving revival of the 1960s. History Oliver Wells, with the help of Stó:lō women Mary Peters from Skwah First Nation and Adeline Lorenzetto from Ohamil First Nation, are credited with the revival of Salish Weaving in the Fraser Valley region. Wells and Lorenzetto re-discovered the old method of weaving by recreating an old loom and unravelling a portion of an old blanket to learn its technique. They made two blankets one with traditional mountain goat hair and the other with sheep's wool. Meanwhile, while Wells ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hudson's Bay Point Blanket
A Hudson's Bay point blanket is a type of wool blanket traded by the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) in British North America, now Canada and the United States, from 1779 to present. The blankets were typically traded to First Nations in exchange for beaver pelts as an important part of the North American fur trade. The blankets continue to be sold by Canada's Hudson's Bay department stores and have come to hold iconic status in the country. History In the North American fur trade, by 1700, wool blankets accounted for more than 60 per cent of traded goods. French fur trader Germain Maugenest is thought to have advised the HBC to introduce point blankets. Originally point blankets had a single stripe across each end, usually in blue or red. In the mid-19th century, blankets began to be produced with a green stripe, red stripe, yellow stripe and indigo stripe on a white background; the four stripe colours were popular and easily produced using good colourfast dyes at that time.

Salish Wool Dog
The Salish Wool Dog, also known as the Comox dog or Clallam Indian Dog, is an extinct breed of white, long-haired, Spitz-type dog that was developed and bred by the Coast Salish peoples of what is now Washington state and British Columbia for textile production. History The remains of dogs that are a morphological match for the Salish wool dog has been found in archeological sites in Coastal Salish territory dating ~5,000 years ago. The small, long-haired wool dog and the coyote-like village dogs were deliberately maintained as separate populations. The dogs were kept in packs of about 12 to 20 animals, and fed primarily raw and cooked salmon. To keep the breed true to type and the preferred white color, Salish Wool Dogs were confined on islands and in gated caves. Salish peoples, renowned for their weaving and knitting, did not raise sheep, and while mountain goat fur was also used to create wool textiles, mountain goats were wild, and thus their fur could only be col ...
