I'm not qualified to talk about the meaning of the Salish art here (or, really, any art to be honest), and I don't want to accidentally offend anyone, which is why I linked to the mall's website where the actual artists talk about it. But there's quite a bit of it here, and it gives the mall a hyperlocal flair that practically nowhere else I've visited has anything like! (Especially nothing on this side of the border, which always bothers me.) Off to the left is a faux storefront that someone appears to have messed up, as it has two right walls! This one appears to have been a store that later closed, rather than the others that likely never had a tenant, so I suspect they cobbled together pieces taken down elsewhere in the mall.
