Island Weavings: January 2015
http://islandweavings.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 10, 2015. Photot of Harry Xul'si'malt Manson. 100 years after dying a tragic death in 1912. It is quite the story and the story spans over 100 years. It is a story of racism, a lost father, a recovering drug addict falling out of the sky, the finding of a grandfather, the restitution of his reputation and recognition on a national scale. The story has been covered by others: CBC news did a story which you can read here. And The Current did a show that you can hear here. The doubtful ric...

Island Weavings: Coast Salish Wool Dog - What did it look like?
http://islandweavings.blogspot.com/2009/12/coast-salish-wool-dog-what-did-it-look.html
Sunday, December 13, 2009. Coast Salish Wool Dog - What did it look like? As promised, I am adding answers, or at least more information, about the Salish wool dog as I find it. So what did it look like? In Paul Kane's painting "A Woman Weaving a Blanket" now at the Royal Ontario Museum. He paints a small white dog, almost poodle like. However, the painting is based on some sketches and his sketches of dogs look different. That, knowing her expertise, is probably a good likeness (the dogs on the right).
