<strong>Squaxin</strong> 2012<br />
Schedule and Event Information<br />
Day of Landing<br />
July 29th, 2012<br />
Tribal <strong>Canoe</strong> <strong>Journey</strong> — Olympia<br />
<strong>Canoe</strong> Landing Protocol<br />
Approximately 1:00 pm<br />
Tribal Elder Prayer<br />
Recognition of dignitaries<br />
Water Ceremony<br />
For months, Tribal <strong>Canoe</strong> Families have been busy preparing for the journey. Over 100 canoes are expected to land at North Point,<br />
between KGY Radio and Swantown Marina. Generally the canoes that have traveled the furthest come ashore the earliest. We<br />
call this protocol. Each canoe family takes their turn asking permission to land in their traditional way. As host, we then grant<br />
permission to land. Even if you can’t make it at the very beginning, landings take several hours so there will be plenty of time<br />
to enjoy the festivities.<br />
The Celebrations Continue<br />
July 30th to August 5th, 2012<br />
Paddle to <strong>Squaxin</strong> 2012 Tribal <strong>Canoe</strong> <strong>Journey</strong> – Kamilche<br />
Potlatch Protocol Celebration<br />
Potlatch Protocol begins as soon as the canoe landing gets underway. As with the landing, the canoe families traveling the<br />
furthest perform earliest. The host for 2013, Quinault, will perform second to the last. Then, the <strong>Squaxin</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Tribal Community<br />
ends the festivities and celebrations on August 5th. There will be a schedule available at the reservation.<br />
Don’t miss this celebration! Natives don their regalia, which can be over 100 years old, made by a Tribal Elder, or other relative.<br />
They perform songs given to them by their ancestors and other native people (we never sing songs without permission.<br />
This is a Drug and Alcohol Free Event!<br />
