Several NW native nations do an annual canoe journey. From as far away as Oregon, Vancouver Island and British Columbia.
I was expecting 25 to 30 canoes. Turned out to be 98. Took an hour and a half for them to all arrive and then an hour plus to come to shore in groups according to nation and ask permission of the Squaxon nation to come ashore. Each was welcomed individually.
Lots of drumming and singing. I got there lateer than I wanted and could not fine a good photo vantage point but shot what I could,
1. One of the larger, fancier canoes
2. A smaller one
3. Large group arriving
4 Shot for the contrast
5. They paddled to this location and lined up by tribe.
