Keeping tradition alive: Annual tribal trip lands at Fort Lewis

Mon, 2008-07-28 15:32
Representatives from local tribal canoe families landed on Fort Lewis’ Solo Point July 15 during their annual tribal journeys which will take them all the way into Canada. Seven canoes from several local tribes, including the Cowlitz, the Chehalis and the Puyallup; came ashore after pulling from Squaxin Island that morning. Fort Lewis officials work closely with the tribe to help facilitate keeping those traditions alive, also, said Bret Ruby, Fort Lewis’ cultural resources manager. “A lot of people don’t realize that Fort Lewis sits squarely in the heart of the tribe’s traditional homeland, and many of the tribe’s most sacred places are found on lands that are now within the boundaries of Fort Lewis,” Ruby said. “Solo Point is one of those very sacred places.”
