Join the Totem Pole Journey!
||| FROM ALEXANDRA GAYEK for MOUNT BAKER GROUP |||
We’re excited to announce the Our Shared Lands rally will now host the first stop on this year’s Way of the Masks tour led by Lummi Nation master carver Jewell James.
Join us at this special action; support the campaign to protect Indigenous lands, waters, and lifeways and stand up the Trump administration’s attacks!
Public lands are under threat as never before, and Our Shared Lands will show Washingtonians are fighting back. Being joined by Jewell James, who for years has used traditional Lummi totem poles to draw attention to the most pressing issues of our time, is an incredible honor. The rally will now feature a blessing ceremony for this year’s totem pole.
Our Shared Lands will also include speeches from local elected officials, organizations doing great work in our community, and a special musical performance by folk singer Dana Lyons. In other words, it’s shaping up to be a big deal! See below for more details:
