Abstract
The Salish Weave Box Sets: Art and Storytelling Project was conducted for the Indigenous Curriculum Resource Centre (ICRC) at Simon Fraser University (SFU) Library, with the goal of providing resources to include Indigenous art in the post-secondary classroom. The project looked at the concept of art as literature, using the concept of Indigenous Storywork (Archibald, 2008). In this paper, we provide further context about the ICRC at SFU Library and the Salish Weave Box Sets, and we present the approach, project themes, and lessons learned from the Salish Weave Box Sets: Art and Storytelling Project.
Keywords:
- Indigenous art,

Résumé
Le projet « Salish Weave Box Sets: Art and Storytelling » a été mis sur pied au Centre de ressources curriculaires autochtones (CRCA) à la bibliothèque de l’Université Simon Fraser (SFU) dans le but de fournir des ressources permettant d’inclure l’art autochtone dans l'enseignement post-secondaire. Le projet s’est penché sur la notion d’art comme littérature en utilisant le concept de narration autochtone (Archibald, 2008). Dans cet article, nous présentons le contexte du CICR à la bibliothèque SFU et les « Salish Weave Box Sets, » ainsi que l’approche, les thèmes du projet et les leçons tirées du projet « Salish Weave Box Sets: Art and Storytelling. »
