into the ceremonies and longhouses, an introduction to the dances and songs, languages and protocols, gifting and sharing. It’s also an opportunity to be involved, to be a part of what is arguably the largest cultural event in the Pacific Northwest. The Lummi Indian Nation’s

the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community’s hosting of the Canoe Journey in 2011; they learned about traditional foods preparation and earned credit. This year in Suquamish, as in past years, visitors will enjoy a dinner of salmon and See JOURNEY, Page A7
