Events Description
Step into the world of the Salish Wool Dog, a small, long-haired dog known by Coast Salish peoples for its wool, an essential part of weaving and cultural traditions. This event highlights Indigenous knowledge through research, storytelling and film.
The evening will have the first-ever public screening of the new short film on the history and legacy of the woolly dog—Threads that Bind: The Story of the Coast Salish Woolly Dog, by Kirk French—as well as a talk with Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa, co-author of the book The Teachings of Mutton: A Coast Salish Woolly Dog.
A panel discussion of Indigenous knowledge keepers and weavers will delve into the cultural role of the woolly dog, the impacts of colonization, and current efforts to share this history.
The Teachings of Mutton: A Coast Salish Woolly Dog books and related items will be available for purchase with a signing to follow.
