Monday, July 17, 2017 marked the beginning of the Pacific Northwest’s annual canoe journey, a spiritual voyage embodying the cultural resiliency of indigenous sovereignty. On the storied shores of Nisqually’s historical Solo Point landed six canoes that travelled from Squaxin Island.
.
As the sun warmed the crowd of elders and tribal members awaiting the canoes to land, children cooled themselves in the bay and folks talked story. When canoes landed, tribal dignitaries welcomed the canoes to shore, an ancient indigenous practice that encourages nation to nation relationships and community efficacy. Today the canoes go onto Puyallup, and will continue on for the next twenty days to land in British Columbia’s Campbell River.
