Let's Celebrate Black History Month Together
February 8, 2024
Not only in the month of February, but especially now, we celebrate Black History, in honor of the shared lived experience of oppression of Black and Indigenous people in these lands. We grieve together. We join together. We celebrate the long journey and continued labor towards equality and equity that we share. As we uphold and honor some beloved Black heroes and heroines this month, we also know that there is more work to be done, and that the journey is far from over. Keep an eye on our social media to learn more about who we are honoring, and why.
As we continue to commemorate Black History Month and recognize the ongoing struggle for equality and equity, it's essential to engage with resources that amplify Black voices, stories, and contributions. Support black owned businesses, find local events to attend, and read books by black authors.

Moon of the Windy Time
The moon around late January into February is the Moon of the Windy Time. Earth begins to awaken in the late winter and living creatures begin to emerge from their dormant states. During this moon, the Swinomish people continue to fish for Chinook salmon in the bays and rivers. Sea-run cutthroat trout and steelhead are also fished.
Children of the Setting Sun collaborated with the Swinomish people to create a video series corresponding to the 13 Moon's Curriculum, offering a video for each moon. The 13 Moon’s Curriculum was developed by the Swinomish Community Environmental Health program with the goal to create an informal and scalable model of environmental health education through the lens of first foods and resources. To access the curriculum, and see the activities for this month, click here.
