Our ongoing work with the weavers at Musqueam is part of that relationship.  \nMany Musqueam people are accomplished weavers, making a great variety of weavings for use in ceremonies, at home, and as a source of income. The art of making large weavings was nearly lost at the turn of the century, although people continued to make small items of regalia needed for ceremonies. Since 1983, the weavers’ learning paths have brought them to the Museum many times to look at old and new weavings, to share and gather information and, more recently, to offer education programmes to local schools and community groups.  \nOur learning path has taken us the short distance down the road to their community, to the homes and workshops of the weavers, to see their recent work and to enjoy coffee and conversation.  \nThis source book has grown out of the “Weavers at Musqueam” digital module in the exhibit Gathering Strength: New Generations in Northwest Coast Art at the Museum of Anthropology at U.B.C. We continue our work with Musqueam weavers and have renewed old friendships with the women and men who create weavings at Musqueam. This sourcebook celebrates their work.  \nMusqueam weavers eloquently share with us why weaving is important to them, their families and their community. Sharing their words in the form of this sourcebook also speaks to the importance of these personal histories to all of us.  \nDetail of Lynn Dan weaving.  \nWeaving in UBC MOA collection, \\#Nbz856, photo 2001.  \nUBC Museum of Anthropology, Musqueam Weavers Source Book  \nUBC Museum of Anthropology, Mus","cbCaioUZgOljIAyq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioUZgOljIAyq","pdf",5183272,93,"English","# Introduction\n## Salish Weaving: An Art Nearly Lost\n## Individual Weaver Stories\n## Glossary\n## Photographic Credits","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Musqueam Weavers source book?\",\"answer\":\"It celebrates Musqueam weavers’ work by sharing their words and personal histories, including how their learning paths connect with the UBC Museum of Anthropology and related exhibits.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is weaving described as nearly lost, and what helped preserve it?\",\"answer\":\"The art of making large weavings nearly disappeared at the turn of the century, although small regalia continued for ceremonies; later, since 1983, weavers’ learning paths brought continued engagement with historical and new weaving.\"},{\"question\":\"What historical background does the book give for Salish weaving?\",\"answer\":\"It describes Salish weaving as ancient, noting woven objects from 4,500 years ago excavated near Musqueam, as well as later European journals that recorded established weaving traditions and valued patterned wool blankets.\"}]","Musqueam Weavers - Their Stories - Musqueam Weaving Through The Personal Stories of Weavers | PDF",1790069739,143]
