A new project puts the Coast Salish Wooly Dog in the spotlight.
Several sources suggest the dogs, which are now extinct, experienced a severe population decline in the 1850s.
The pelt of one Coast Salish Wooly dog that was lying in the Smithsonian for more than a hundred and fifty years inspired a research project that brought together knowledge holders from a variety of Coast Salish communities.
That project has resulted in a new book called The Teachings of Mutton.
Liz Hammond-Kaareema, Violet Elliot and Elliot White Hill all contributed to that book, and they joined Midcoast Morning to talk about Coast Salish Wooly Dogs.
The trio will also be part of a launch event on Saturday May 31st at the Nanaimo Museum, more information about that event can be found here:
