From their website: “For thousands of years, the first inhabitants of this area celebrated with song and dance as tribes and local villages gathered in the Spirit of the Potlatch. These are our Ancestral Highways — these waters of the Puget Sound. Since the late 1800’s the governments of Canada and United States outlawed these gatherings in the hope of destroying the love and spirit of the Potlatch. After WWII, the Lummis began celebrating the return of our service men and women, “our Warriors.” Stommish has since become the annual gathering of canoe tribes establishing that link amongst our First Nation People of the Pacific Northwest.”
