    1. Out of the Silence-These four large weavings represent an esteemed and enduring art
      form among the Coast Salish people. For many centuries before European contact,
      intricately woven Coast Salish blankets were worn or distributed during social and
      religious ceremonies. The women who created Out of the Silence chose to use a
      number of traditional patterns, made up of diamonds, squares and zigzags, to honor
      the endurance of their craft and to signify their identities as weavers.
