The Paddle to Lummi tribal canoe journey took place from July 24 to 28. During the event, canoe families visiting from Washington, B.C., Alaska and beyond asked permission to land in their native languages. After being welcomed ashore by the Lummi Nation, they participated in traditional singing, dancing and gift-giving. The annual celebration of indigenous cultures, hosted by different native nations each year since 1989, attracted thousands of people.
