It was the last day of the Salish Weaving exhibit and also there was a fashion show to end the exhibit. There was great attendance and loved the fact that as an "elder" I could sit in the first row. The first two rows were reserved for elders...now that's a tradition I love! The exhibit and show were amazing and I was seated next to a Sechelt First Nations man whose wife was in the fashion show and also is the curator of the Sechelt Museum. We had a very interesting chat and to top everything off there was food at the end...bannock and grilled vegetables, coffee and a soft drink. I just love this place and will probably volunteer where we are no longer in Palm Springs for almost half a year.
This looks like a very interesting museum and another reason to visit the Sunshine Coast. It's been forever since I've been there.

And you could even try out your hand at weaving.
I sat in a very comfortable chair looking over these wonderful trees, stones, and creek.
I'll have to go back soon to see this new exhibit.
The fashion show....just wonderful examples of First Nation's weaving. Most of the participants were weavers and wove the garments they displayed or they were woven by family members.
The food was wonderful!
