Tribal Partnerships to Protect our Shared Waters

FRIENDS works to facilitate cultural ties and increase tribal participation in the management and protection of natural resources in San Juan County and the region.  The Samish Indian

 

Nation, Lummi Nation, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community and the Tulalip Tribes are active partners in the implementation of many of FRIENDS programs. 


Canoe Journey

The Canoe Journey is a significant cultural event for many Canadian and Washington

State tribes and serves as an effective anti-drug and alcohol alternative for Indian Country youth and adults.  Each summer, participants paddle through the ecologically and culturally important waters of the Salish Sea.

FRIENDS helps facilitate the Canoe Journeys travels through the Islands.  FRIENDS reaches

 

out to the local community about the importance of the Journey, raises funds, and organizes community support for their arrivals.  FRIENDS led the County and Town in drafting Proclamations of Support for the Journey.  Through FRIENDS participation with the Canoe Journey, an important cultural link has been created.  FRIENDS will continue to support the goals of the Canoe Journey by hosting future Journeys through our Shared Waters.
