Cowichan Communities & Cultures
May 2 – October 18, 2008
Our new summer exhibit takes a look at the unique history of the Cowichan sweater, a symbol of our West Coast identity. Cowichan knitting reflects the cultural contact that took place between the indigenous people of the Cowichan Valley and early settlers. Knitting Together explores this story and the fusion of textile techniques that led to the creation of this iconic sweater.
It’s an exciting summer for Cowichan, with the Spirit of Cowichan events, BC 150 Years festivities and the North American Indigenous Games. Come out to the Museum and enjoy our own “Spirit of Cowichan”!
