Our Sacred Sea
for a living Salish Sea
Since time immemorial, the Lummi people have lived in balance with the Salish Sea. We have worked to protect this place, our sovereignty, treaty rights, sacred ground, heritage economies and traditional lifeways. Recent victories include defeating a proposed coal port at Xwe’chi’eXen/Cherry Point; forcing a moratorium on Atlantic fish farms; and the Supreme Court culverts decision, which mandates that the state preserve habitat for traditional fisheries. Currently, our work is focused on salmon and resident qwe ‘lhol mechen (orca) populations. The Salish Sea is our sacred sea, and it is our obligation to help protect and revitalize it.
