Debra Sparrow is a weaver, artist and designer who was born and raised at Musqueam Indian Village. Her work combines textile and Salish design into geometric blankets. Her work revives Chiefs blankets for Musqueam cultural use and she also makes hangings that are prominent at Vancouver Airport, Museum of Anthropology and the Smithsonian. Sparrow designed the logo for the Canadian Men’s Hockey Team for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver. She continues to work on pieces close to her heart at her home in Musqueam and for over thirty years has played a pivotal role in the ongoing revival of Musqueam weaving. In 2023, Debra and Aleen Sparrow opened the Salish Blanket Co., in part as an extension of Debra’s ongoing project, Blanketing the City that aims to encourage Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to build a deeper understanding of living Coast Salish Culture. The Salish Blanket Co. ensures that Musqueam history, traditions and practice continue to resonate.
