After a four-year hiatus, the intertribal Canoe Journey returned to Kitsap County when about 100 canoes arrived on the beach in front of the Suquamish Tribe’s House of Awakened Culture July 28. The journey on the Salish Sea began on the Lummi Nation in Bellingham with stops at the Sammamish, Swinomish and Tulalip reservations before landing in Suquamish, where the tribe hosted about 9,000 people who traveled from Canada and other spots in the Northwest for a two-day celebration of song, dance, storytelling and gift giving. Families will paddle the final leg of the journey to Alki Beach in West Seattle July 30 and conclude with a six-day celebration of heritage and culture at the Muckleshoot Reservation in Auburn Aug. 6.
