Learning from Coast Salish Weaving and Woolly Dogs

In this session created especially for Early Childhood teachers, hear from Eliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun (Snuneymuxw) about storytelling and the importance of the Woolly Dogs for the Coast Salish people.
Then, take on the role of a student as we connect the story of the Woolly Dogs– whose hair was used in Coast Salish weaving– to a hands-on weaving activity that helps our earliest learners practice fine-motor skills and connect to special animals as well as special clothing in their lives.
<h3>Educators will</h3>
<ul>
<li>
Understand: We learn by doing and making connections to what we already know. Weaving tells a story, and storytelling in the Coast Salish community is a powerful means of conveying knowledge, expressing identity, and preserving culture.
<ul></ul>
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Do: Practice weaving, listen to a story about the Woolly Dogs and their importance to Coast Salish people, and make personal connections.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Feel: Prepared to utilize best practices in early childhood learning to make the unfamiliar familiar.
</li>
</ul>
Registration is open to formal and informal educators of all levels, though activities for this session are most applicable for PreK-Grade 2 teachers.

Scientists, researchers, and collections managers are behind the scenes every day, uncovering new information and taking care of our collection.

During Meet a Scientist, you can find them in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fieldmuseum.org/exhibition/halls-and-galleries/grainger-science-hub">Grainger&nbsp;Science Hub</a>. They'll discuss their work and share real items from the museum’s collection of nearly 40 million objects. From collections care to field work, and dinosaurs to ecology, there’s a world of science to explore.

Visit the&nbsp;Science Hub&nbsp;on select weekdays for an up-close look at what our researchers do every day.

Educators will explore Native histories and contemporary experiences through the lens of continuity, resilience, and joy. The program will feature keynote speaker Dr. Gabrielle Tayac (Piscataway), whose work centers Native history, identity, and contemporary Indigenous experiences. Through guided discussion, exhibition exploration, and educator-centered activities, participants will examine how Native peoples and communities have responded to historical challenges while continuing to shape the present and future.
Participants will consider ways to move beyond narratives that position Native peoples only in the past and explore classroom approaches that connect difficult histories with stories of resistance, reclamation, cultural continuity, and joy. Educators will also engage in a collaborative art-making activity focused on how communities express resilience and joy and leave with ideas and resources for bringing these perspectives into their own teaching.
