The Lummi Totem Pole Journey visits Riverside Community Church in Hood River, OR on the voyage to bring this years totem to the Northern Cheyenne, where a giant new coal mine has been proposed. The Lummi Nation is home to the proposed Cherry Point coal port, which would become the largest coal port in North America. Thanks to all our hosts for making this possible and to the Hood River community for a wonderful Blessing:
