"Displayed prominently on the wall are the words that set the tone for the exhibit: Cedar is a gift from the Creator, has provided for Coast Salish people in countless ways. For generations, Coast Salish peoples have woven baskets from materials gathered from the land with care and deep respect."
About Kiana
My name is Kiana Kona, and I am the creator and owner of KKONA LLC. I’m an Indigenous artist and a member of the Tulalip Tribe, originally from the Columbia River Gorge in the small town of White Salmon, Washington. Although I didn’t grow up on the reservation, I always felt a strong pull to reconnect with my roots and deepen my relationship with the land.
