Events

Acclaimed master carver Jewell Praying Wolf James (Lummi Nation) and Doug James (Lummi Nation) of the House of Tears Carvers will take part in a totem pole blessing ceremony led by Faith Spotted Eagle (Yankton Sioux), marking the openings of the ICOM NatHist conference Museums in the Age of Humanity and the new exhibition Kwel’ Hoy: We Draw the Line.

The totem pole is coming to Vancouver! Join the blessing ceremony, hear of the ongoing efforts and issues, and explore local issues, like Tesoro’s proposed oil by rail facility.

Join us in this unique, indigenous event that will connect us all to the local fights we face, like PSE’s proposed LNG facility, with information about how to get involved.

Our struggles are connected. Learn about the Lummi’s ongoing fight to protect their land and people and how this ties together with local fights we face like the Jordon Cove LNG proposal.

This tour, Kwel’Hoy, We Draw the Line!, will celebrate victories, commemorate alliances, and prepare for the coming battles as we work together for the protection of mother earth.
