At dawn this morning this canoe circled the island of Alcatraz. As part of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the canoe families sang songs on the beach after the groups returned from their canoe journey. This canoe belonged to the canoe family from Portland made up of members of many tribes. I sat with them on the beach for nearly 5 hours in what I can only describe as pure peace. Many tribes there were from the PNW. As someone dedicated to plants—especially those from the region where I live, this meant a great deal to me. I heard many stories, and I talked to strangers who were really astounded to stumble into this. One man said to me, “We no longer listen to one another’s stories. We need to listen.” I feel a lot of love for the connections I felt today: to the water, the trees the canoes came from, the people, and the Great Spirit. Let’s give a nice shout out to the salmon too!!! Lord knows I love them too. #indigenouspeoplesday #alcatrazcanoejourney #peace #peace #prayer #water #land #air #futuregenerations #indigenousvalues #inclusion #diversehumanity #peacefulgathering #portlandallnationscanoefamily #salmonnation
