If you are in Duncan, on Vancouver Island, it’s a good idea to stop at the Quw’utsun’ Cultural Centre.

When we arrived, the man at the reception desk was knitting a classic Cowichan sweater.

Outside, some large totems are on display. They have been there a while, and the wood is showing some checking.

I think it adds to the symbolism. Beautiful, powerful work. Sorry I did not write down the name of the artist.
