Sacred Sea: for a living Salish Sea
Since time immemorial, Lhaqtemish (the Lummi people) have lived in balance with Xwullemy (the Salish Sea bioregion). We have worked to protect this place, our sovereignty, treaty rights, sacred ground, heritage economies and traditional lifeways. Our Salish Sea Campaign is focused on the health of salmon, qwe ‘lhol mechen (orca), and the waters. The Salish Sea is our sacred sea, and it is our Xa Xalh Xechnging (sacred obligation) to help heal and revitalize it.
Get involved
Come by land or by water to a gathering to protect Xwu’llemy (the Salish Sea) on September 27, 2019 at Blaine’s Public Fishing Pier and adjoining waters. Bring red, wear red. Details here.
