Show Notes
Cowichan Tribes and the federal government honor the national historic importance of Cowichan sweaters, a traditional Coast Salish craft. These hand-knitted wool sweaters, featuring animal designs, have been a key part of Quw’utsun culture for generations. The tradition started in the late 1800s, blending Coast Salish wool-working skills with European knitting techniques. Today, dozens of artisans keep the craft alive, selling their work across Canada and into the United States. The designation helps protect against cheap copies and brings well-deserved attention back home.
