Upcoming Events: *August 11th- Idle No More Washington Rally @ Sculpture Park, Seattle 11am-1:30pm PST The beach we will be at is a sacred gathering place of the Coast Salish people. We will stand in solidarity with all our brothers and sisters as we honor our ancestors, recommit ourselves as stewards of this land for us and future generations, and protect it from the proposed coal trains, tar sand/oil trains, and tankers. Please join us in prayer, song, and light lunch. Bring your drums, rattles, and water from your area for a Water Blessing, canoe landing, jam session, and a symbolic blocking of the trains.

It will provide an opportunity for all voices to be heard as we network, update one another, connect and organize.

United in Power to Protect the Sacred.” The Nawt-sa-maat Alliance P.S. Watch this powerful video of Sundance Chief Rueben Georg and the Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish, Musqueam, and settler allies offering a prayer to the Waters in front of the Kinder Morgan Oil Tanker filling Facility. The prayers were offered to give something good back to our mother earth, from whom we take so much. The ceremony was held to pray, and to express opposition to the expansion of the Tarsands, Pipelines and oil Tanker traffic on the coast.
