After a ‘mind-blowing’ encounter at a ‘New York’ museum, a Sḵwx̱wú7mesh weaving returns home
Described as a ‘woven jewel’, the tumpline – a belt used to carry heavy objects – is on loan in ‘North Vancouver’, where it’s on display until March of 2027
Sḵwx̱wú7mesh master weaver Chief Janice George and her husband, Buddy Joseph, have spent years travelling to museums and collections across the world in search of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh weavings. “My relatives call us teenagers because we’re always on the run,” she laughs.
The more belongings the couple are able to locate and bring home, the more future generations can learn from the knowledge, histories, and cultural practices carried within them.
“The energy comes with the work,” George said, recalling her husband’s words. “This is the work that we’re meant to do.”

Our kids are more than their problems – let’s act like it
Dr. Kristin Anderson Moore states that society should measure children’s success by positive indicators like curiosity, empathy, resilience, and healthy relationships, not just by the absence of problems such as crime and school drop out. She explains that for children to flourish, they require supportive environments, caring adults, and programs that build on young children’s strengths rather than relying on punishment or fear. Drawing on programs like Domus Kids, she knows that positive relationships and a sense of being loved lead to better long-term outcomes for children and adolescents.
Kristen Anderson Moore, Ph.D., is Senior Scholar and Past President of Child Trends. She is a social psychologist and has worked at Child Trends for more than 40 years. She studies trends in child and family well-being, positive youth development, education and employment programs, teen pregnancy and parenthood, family structure, poverty, and the effects of public policies and programs on children.
