This week from the Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement:
One thing everyone can do to make sure they are #respectfullyrecreating while on Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands is to learn more about the Tribe. We have also had a lot of requests for more resources related to Lushootseed, the traditional language of the Snoqualmie people, which is why we are excited to share a link today to a page on the Tribe's website with recordings of various foods in Lushootseed! Check it out by clicking on the image!
