What is Canoe Journey?

The Canoe Journey is an annual tradition of traveling on ancestral waterways.

This Year’s Canoe Journey: A Focus on Youth

Connie McCloud shared, “The whole point of this Youth Journey is to teach our children so that you have the adults, you have the Elders, working with the youth to train them to be in the leadership position. It doesn’t eliminate any canoe families from participating. It puts the focus on training our youth.” This statement captures the purpose and goal of this years journey in that our Puyallup shores are open to all.

The youth journey is an opportunity for elders to impart their knowledge, for adults to guide and support, and for our youth to step confidently into roles of leadership. This will assist in ensuring that the culture is continued on through future generations.
