NEZ PERCE TRIBE

The May 2022 Snake River to Salish Sea Spirit of the Waters Totem Pole Journey is the latest of a dozen journeys we have made over the past 20 years to educate and advocate. This journey builds upon, strengthens and reaffirms the growing indigenous-led environmental movement across the Pacific Northwest that beginning with a successful campaign to oppose proposed fossil fuels projects.

 

The journey includes public events in metropolitan areas and tribal communities. At each stop, art and culture will spark understanding of our natural heritage. In-person events will include ceremonial moments steeped in ancestral knowledge to present the challenges the region faces—and avenues for cross-cultural collaboration and engagement on solutions.
