Pacific Northwest prayer rug connects Muslim, Indigenous communities

Seattle’s Center for Global Muslim Life is releasing the first of its kind Pacific Northwest prayer rug, a project aimed at reimagining traditional Muslim prayer rugs as “living artifacts” of Indigenous lands. This project, according to the center’s website, is “meant to reflect the stories, identities, and ancestral ties of Muslim communities” in parts of Washington state, Oregon and British Columbia.
