The 2026 Canoe Journey, Healing Through Our Waters By Honoring Our Ancestors, is coming this summer. The Nisqually Tribe will host this major intertribal gathering July 31 – August 5, and is calling for volunteers. This is an opportunity to show up, experience a major cultural event, and learn more about our indigenous neighbors.
Our minister, Rev. Florence Caplow, will be attending the whole event from July 31-August 5, and would be happy to share the experience with any VIUU folks who want to come from part of day (or longer). Reach out to her via email if you are considering attending, to arrange a meet-up.
