The book delves into the cultural significance of woolworking in the Cowichan First Nation, highlighting how traditional woven blankets and modern knitting serve as vital communication tools. Over 240 years of commentary reveal persistent themes of foreignness and cooperation, illustrating the misunderstandings faced by non-Cowichan observers. Paula Johanson explores this ongoing dialogue, providing insight into the unique West Coast perspective on the Cowichan people's fabric-making practices and the broader implications of cultural exchange.
