About the event

Lecture: The Coast Salish Woolly Dog
Due to her sold-out lecture in May, Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa will return to give a repeat performance at the Courtenay and District Museum Rotary Gallery. If you missed the first lecture, this is your chance to attend.

The Coast Salish Peoples bred a dog known as the Coast Salish Woolly Dog for its wool. It started to disappear around the 1850s. The only known pelt of a dog, named “Mutton,” was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in 1859 where he was forgotten in a drawer for 140 years. During that time doubt grew about the dog, the use of its wool in blankets and the demise of the breed that devalued the cultural context and ignored the impact of colonialism.

Tickets: $5 for Historical Society members; $6 for general public. Advance tickets recommended. Tickets can be purchased over the phone by calling 250-334-0686 ext 2.
