Canoes, Salmon & Orcas

In the downtown store, upstairs in the mezzanine.
Free, everyone welcome.

Join Children of the Setting Sun Productions for a special First Friday event featuring songs, stories, and a short video compilation documenting war canoe racing, the annual canoe journey, the wild sockeye salmon fishery, and contributions of Lummi tribal members to help an ailing orca in the Salish Sea. Presentation will be followed by a Q&A session.

Samples of traditionally prepared salmon cooked over an open fire pit and samples from the Co-op will be provided.

An art show depicting war canoe racing, the canoe journey, Atlantic salmon spill cleanup, efforts to feed a Southern resident orca, and 2018 summer sockeye fishery, will be on display throughout October.

ART: Phil Rose Photography—North American Retrospective

Phil Rose is a British photographer who has lived in Bellingham for 15 years during which time he has fallen in love with all the different landscapes in North America: from the storm laden seas of Mexico to the Azure lakes of Banff and Jasper in Canada—by way of the deserts of Arizona and, of course, Whatcom County—and from the natural beauty and silence of Joshua Tree to the man-made scenes of desolation in Detroit.
