Where: The Evergreen State College
Olympia, Washington
Traditional Feast to Follow
*****
Well Folks: Looks like we will finally get a Long House on the campus of
The Evergreen State College. The effort to build a Long House started
about 20 years ago. That was when Mary Ellen Hillaire (Lummi) worked at the
College. She envisioned a cultural center; a place for American Indian
students, staff, and faculty; a place built on the values of
Northwest Coast Tribal - hospitality, respect, and understanding. It
took many years and many people working together to finally get to this
occasion. Please plan to join us in a Traditional dinner of salmon and
berries as we honor the Land and the Ancestors. Your presence and prayers
will aid us along the path as construction begins.
