Odd Fellows Hall Red Cedar Circle on Sunday

||| FROM CHE BLAINE |||

Paul Chiyokten Wagner is a Saanich Nation tribal member which is located on so called Vancouver Island BC Canada. His mother lived on Orcas Island as a child. He is a cousin of Johnny Moses.

As a Traditional Coast Salish Storyteller & flutist he brings us on a wonderful, profound and humorous journey to the world of Mermaids, Leprechauns, Grandmother cedar trees and marauding giant ogresses in traditional story, song and Native American flute music of his Coast Salish territory.

We don’t simply listen to the story… we are part of the story! We will travel to the ancient forests, meadows and waters of the Salish Sea and experience the eternal connective sounds of nature with masterful deliverance of Coast Salish Native American flute music and storytelling. His debut CD “Journey Of The Spirit” won the JPF National Music Award “Best Native American Album 2009”

Chiyokten has collaborated with many artists including Bill Frasell, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Kitaro and Ayvind Kang. Chiyokten is also the founder of Protectors of the Salish Sea of who actively stand up for the tree, plant and animal peoples as well as our human peoples of Mother Earth and the livable future for all children.
