This event came into existence as a result of the Lyle Horizons program, funded by the Northwest Area Foundation and supported by WSU Extension. As part of the Horizons program, during an Action Forum held in January 2009, over 50 community and tribal members came together and voted the cultural exchange event as its top priority for the community of Lyle, Washington.
The success of this event, and the goodwill generated among all participants, paved the way for the desire to make the River Peoples Cultural Exchange an annual event.
There will be an honor song and prayer for all Tribal fishermen and fisherwomen who have lost their lives on the great Columbia River. If you would like to have a loved one remembered at this memorial, you may contact Simon Sampson at (509) 901-1885, or email him at ssam1848@aol.com to submit the name of your friend or family member. |
