We were invited to a very special canoe celebration by Makah tribal members. There were 3 traditional Makah canoes that were given to three separate families. This was a promise made by tribal elders over 38 years ago. It is a goal of the Makah tribe to give each family, which can be very large, a personal canoe to resume their ancient fishing ways of the past. It was a very emotional and educational opportunity for us to celebrate with them. We enjoyed a delicious meal of specially prepared elk and salmon, which was served during the celebration.
