Tribes from all over the region will gather in Coupeville Saturday, May 16, for a day to celebrate the area’s connection with Native American heritage.
The 24th annual Penn Cove Water Festival is 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in downtown Coupeville and features Native American perform-ers, educational exhibits, canoe races, arts and crafts and youth activities.
Visitors can view the canoe races from Coupeville Wharf and at various loca-tions along Front Street between the wharf and the Coupeville boat launch.
Additional activities will be held along Front Street, along with special pro-grams at the Island County Historical Museum and on the wharf.
At 8 p.m. Friday, May 15, at the Pacific Rim Institute, 180 Parker Road, Lou LaBombard, member of the Seneca Nation and the Penn Cove Water Festival Association, will tell stories from Native American oral traditions including the Northwest Coastal groups.
Also in partnership with the Penn Cove Water Festival, the Pacific Rim
Institute will hold two free 45-minute tours of the prairie on Saturday. A free shuttle will leave from the Coupeville Rec Hall at 12:45 p.m. and again at 2:45 p.m.
The Water Festival also provides a unique oppor-tunity for local residents to become involved by “extend-ing a hand of friendship” to the Native American guests,
according to event organiz-ers. In following the custom of Native Americans and First Nations of Canada who show their hospitality to their visitors by presenting gifts, the Coupeville community extends the hand of friend-ship through giving gifts of homemade bread.
Organizers invite the com-munity to join in this gesture
of hospitality by baking a loaf of bread, any kind from white to whole wheat to zuc-chini is acceptable.
The gift will be wrapped and presented to the distin-guished guests, canoe pull-ers, entertainers, vendors and exhibitors.
The bread may be deliv-ered 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, May 15, to the Coupeville
United Methodist Church on North Main Street.
The gifts will be presented at the opening ceremony and throughout the day.
For more information about donating bread, call Ginny Vracin, 360-678-4644.
