Loving Caring & Sharing Together- Paddle to Swinomish 2011 PR Slideshow1

Introduction of upcoming NW Tribal Canoe Journey event:

Paddle to Swinomish 2011
Loving Sharing & Caring Together
July 25th-31st 2011

Over 130 family canoes will land on the shores of the Swinomish Reservation, across from the town of La Conner, WA. This will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see & experience the canoe culture of our Salish tribes and other visiting inter-tribal canoe families paddling to Skagit County. This paddle is a resurgence of the traditional ways of the canoe culture re-instilled as a way to bring back the language; the songs; healing; and reunions between families and friends as the canoes travel the Salish Sea, stopping along the way at various tribal locations & other designated stops. This is a FREE event. Volunteers are needed; vendor opportunities on site are first come, first served! Media coverage is welcome with prior approval.
