Chief Becker was the Master of Ceremonies at the event. This weaving was also worn by Musqueam elder, Vince Sparrow, at the Royal Bank Housepost ceremony at the Museum of Anthropology on March 3, 1997, where two houseposts carved by Musqueam artist Susan A. Point were unveiled. Chief Gail Sparrow wore this blanket at the opening ceremonies of the APEC Summit, which was held at the Museum of Anthropology in November 1997. |
| Fonctions : | The Musqueam, and other Coast Salish peoples, come from a long tradition of weaving. Although contemporary weavers weave for a variety of reasons, several of the weavers at Musqueam have expressed that their weaving enables them to connect with their ancestors and at the same time leave a cultural legacy for future generations. Many weave primarily for personal use and for gifts to family and friends, while others weave as a profession and sell their work to art dealers and museums. In recent years, Musqueam weavers have also received commissions from large corporations, such as Paramount Studios and the Vancouver Airport. |
