Dozens of local residents gathered beneath the bright sun for a Mother Earth Day Celebration hosted by the Children of the Setting Sun Productions at Maritime Heritage Park on April 22.
Children of the Setting Sun is a Native-led production company that follows the Lummi tradition of storytelling. For Earth Day, the group welcomed the West Shore Canoe Family to sing and dance in celebration of the Earth. They also brought several Indigenous speakers and environmental activists to share thoughts about the environment, human’s role in nature and the dangers of climate change.
Several environmental organizations posted tables to share local efforts to improve the environment with the community.
