Connecting Community

June 21st, 2024

 

“Whether they’re in the ocean, the land, the sky, or the rivers, these are the things we have to protect. Our grandparents said to us, “Remember, remember, this is who we are. This is who we will always be. Never, never let your children forget who they are.” - Tom Sampson, Jesintel: Living Wisdom from Coast Salish Elders by Children of the Setting Sun Productions

 

Young and Indigenous Podcast: featuring our interview with Oren Lyons from the Bioneers Conference in Berkeley  

We were blessed to spend time with Oren and his son Rex at this year’s conference.  Tune in to learn more about Oren’s incredible perspective on these challenging times we are living in, and what we can do to stay connected to each other, and make decisions to return our ways of life into balance with nature.  

 

78th Annual Lummi Stommish Water Festival

“Stommish” which means  “warrior” in the Lummi language, is an event held every year at Lummi Stommish Grounds in June and began as a celebration to honor World War II veterans. The festival is known for its food, arts & crafts, stick games, performances, unveiling the Stommish princess and warrior, and the all-day war canoe races. We needed extra strength this weekend to survive the wild weather changes as well as all the races!  Special shout out to our incredible staff members who participated, Santana and Bella were out on the water for the majority of the weekend racing canoes and Roy performed his music Saturday night!  If you missed it this year, mark your calendars for next June - it’s worth the whole year of anticipation to gather together and feel all the energy.
