"Reflections of Santa Fe," Squamish shoulder wrap, by Buddy Joseph

Buddy Joseph and his wife, hereditary Squamish Chief Janice George (Chepximiya Siyam’), studied weaving in Washington State under Bruce subijay Miller and Susan Pavel, and used these teachings to begin the Squamish Nation 2003 weaving revival.

The recent Coast Salish weaving revivals have been important in reclaiming and reinvigorating these cultural forms. The students of L'hen Awtxw Weaving House on the Capilano Reserve, founded by George and Joseph, now number in the thousands. Contemporary Squamish textiles are made from home-grown and homespun sheep wool, mountain goat wool, or commercial wool and wool blends.
