Salmon design inlaid on glass door. The salmon designs are a combination of "old style and contemporary". This style is very much unique to our Salish peoples.There is a flow to there direction as there is to our people as we move to "CHANGE IN WHO WE ARE,THE FISH ARE OUR LIFE LINE without we no longer exist. I would like to dedicate the salmon design to my grandparents Ed Rose Sparrow both whom attended Coqaleetza where they met...and would later marry. - Debra Sparrow
Artwork inlaid into flooring. "Lost In The Fraser" - We have always lived by the Sto:lo (Fraser River). It has fed us for all time. It was our main highway. We are taught to respect the river. It has taken many lives. There is a story that came to me. When someone falls in the river and can't get out, they are taken by people to the bottom of the river, in a village far below lives a people, and they will take care of the one who fell in. In the water they are in the human form, when they come out of the water they are in the form of sturgeon. There are no words that can be said to the family of the loved one. This story serves as a small medicine for them.
