Canoe Practice: Typically canoe practice occurs on Tulalip Bay,
but on the afternoon of June 18th, Tulalip canoe pullers navigated the waters
of Ebey Slough instead.  A slough is a backwater or a an inlet on a river.
Ebey Slough is located in the Snohomish River watershed.
Traveling through these waters, canoe members enjoyed an afternoon of pulling
in a place once common to Tulalip ancestors.
Even though the Slough waters are calmer than on Tulalip Bay, the area does come
with its own hazards.  Shallow waters, stumps, logs and pilings and mud bars
kept the pullers alert, as they paddled.

Salmon Cermony: On Saturday, June 21st, many people attended the Salmon Ceremony
to honor the first King Salmon of the year.  They also attended to participate, witness and
overall celebrate the Tulalip culture and traditions.
The ceremony also teaches the youth of the community, the value of their heritage and culture,
so that it will continue to be passed down through each generation.
In the Salmon Ceremony ‘The First King Salmon’, is honored in song, dance and food.
As is the tradition, at the end of the ceremony, he is sent off on his journey back to the Salmon village.
It is hoped, that he will tell his Salmon People that he was treated with honor and respect,
thus ensuring the salmon runs to Tulalip.
