Welcome to the Salish Weave project. SD42 was gifted 18 prints from a benefactor through the University of Victoria to share this rich collection of local (very famous) Coast Salish artists. We wish to recognize generosity of the donors to allow students of our district to experience the creativity and genius of this work.
Here are some resource links to be inspired by the many ways these pieces can be used for teaching and learning:
Pilot with c̓əsqənelə Elementary – link to library site and school blog (with thanks to Janet Smith for curating)
University of Victoria – Salish Weave in the Classroom
Salish Weave Project – School Program
Please connect with your assigned Aboriginal Resource Teacher to find out more about this project. For 2021-22 school year, several schools have already signed up for the installation.
