Duane Howe, who has wife, Nadine, with the earn-

day at the beach by the Arcadia
Boat Launch. The public is invit-
ed to attend.
The tribe has celebrated the
first salmon each summer in re-
cent years.
The ceremony observes a tribal
tradition that teaches that the
Spirit of the first salmon will
gather his relatives and lead
them back to the rivers and
Streams if he is treated with re-
Spect, says tribal publicist There-
_a Henderson. The same tradition
caches that his people will not
return if the first salmon is not
with drumming and the singing
of Salish songs as a way of wel-
coming the first salmon. The peo-
ple of the tribe will then walk si-
lently to the water's edge to await
the arrival of their sacred guest.
From there the salmon will be
carried up the beach accompanied
by cedar boughs and the sound of
Salish music.
When the salmon gets near the
fire the music will taper off and
silence will fall over the tribe as
the salmon is opened and its spir-
it is ceremonially released. The
remains and their cedar wrap-
The fillets will be placed on ce-
dar sticks and smoked over an
alder fire and those who have
gathered will then be invited to
partake of the food. The tribe and
its guests will also feast on other
traditional foods, including clams,
mussels and fry bread.
The ceremony is hosted by the
Squaxin Island Tribal Council
and the Squaxin Island Natural
Resources Department. There is
no charge for attending this event
but guests are asked to refrain
from taking photographs while
the salmon's spirit is being re-
leased, Henderson said.
