| Description: Exhibit opening reception at the Museum's Chambers Gallery on Saturday, February 21st from 12:00 – 2:00 pm. Our upcoming exhibit, Sí:tel Coast Salish Baskets, explores the making, trading and collecting of Coast Salish cedar baskets from the Museum’s collection as well as baskets from the Stó:lō Research and Resource Management Centre. The exhibit will look at the various uses and functions of cedar baskets throughout Chilliwack’s history, beginning with the daily use of the baskets before the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 18th century. From the 1880s through the 1920s, cedar basket weaving was transformed from a practical domestic need to a source of necessary economic support for Coast Salish families. During this time, most baskets were made with the specific purpose of trading with Anglo-European families. Basket makers created new shapes, uses, weaves, dyes and decoration to accommodate Anglo-European tastes. |
