Chemakum Tribe hosts gathering in Chimacum

Posted

Members of the Chemakum Tribe, Native inhabitants of the north Olympic Peninsula, will host a gathering from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25 in the Chimacum High School Auditorium.

Rosalee Walz, Chair of the Chemakum Tribal Council, will open the afternoon with an update on the Tribe’s re-emergence. Afterwards, “Doctrine of Recovery,” a film exploring the effects of colonization and pathways to healing, will be shown followed by responses to the film by members of the Chemakum Tribe. Questions will be answered after comments.

Selected portraits from the exhibit “Still Here, Portraits of the Chemakum” will be on display. For those who missed the original showing in April 2022, the event is an opportunity to view the remarkable photographs by Brian Goodman and League of Extraordinary Observers.

Donations are gratefully accepted and all are welcome. Proceeds will go to Chemakum Tribal Services, a nonprofit for the Chemakum Tribe.

The Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Native Connections Action Group and Chemakum Tribal Services are co-sponsors of the event. For more information, email quufncag@gmail.com or call 425-417-2164.
