Description

Salish Weaving, written by Paula Gustafson. "Salish Weaving, ... is one of the great aboriginal arts of North America. For at least twelve centuries the Salish people of the Pacific Northwest coast have spun mountain goat hair and other fibres, and produced weavings which exhibit great technical skill, a sophisticated sense of colour and design, and an exciting vocabulary of emotional symbolism."
