Since the age of 18, Chepximiya Siyam’ Chief Dr. Janice George has devoted herself to interviewing, recording, and learning from Squamish Nation Elders, work she considers her most cherished form of education. She emphasizes that weaving is not merely a technical skill, but a deeply cultural practice where history, philosophy, and tradition are interwoven. For Chief Dr. Janice George, this knowledge forms a foundation for both self-care and community care. She describes weaving as an act of intention, where love and energy are woven into each piece, strengthening the environment and the relationships around it. In connecting with the ancestors of the past, one also weaves a connection to future generations.
