Totem Pole Journey Reaches Washington

by

totempoleYou can read in the Olympian and on EarthFix about the journey of the Lummi carvers’ totem pole along the path the coal trains would take to the proposed export terminals at Longview and Cherry Point. The journey protests the degradation of native lands and waters from fossil fuel extraction and export.

Earth Ministry/WAIPL works within the unceded territories of Northwest Native nations. Our office is on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present. Land acknowledgement is one way to resist erasure of Indigenous histories as well as to honor tribes and the land itself.
