It would be up to west coast aboriginals whether or not using Salish inspired artwork is offensive. I don't recall any uproar about it before and the Salish have a pretty strong presence in the Vancouver area.
At some point, isn't it good to have aspects of a culture become part of the mainstream? I mean, it kind of suggests that your art has universal appeal, which is not a bad thing.
