- Story
The largest cultural event I have attended in my life was called “The Qatuwas Festival”. It is perhaps the largest gathering of ocean-going canoes from the aboriginal people of the Northwest Coast to take place in the twentieth century.
Elwah at Comox celebrates the return of the canoe, ELWHA, to the home of the Klallam people in Washington State. I had the joy of sharing time with the paddlers on their voyage home. I will always remember the smoke from the fire, the beat of the drum, and spirits lifted in song during an evening of celebration in the longhouse of the Comox people.
Elwah at Comox is a tribute to the power and resolve of the Klallam paddlers from Washington State who paddled from their home to Bella Bella in Northwestern B.C. and back again, a long and arduous ocean journey.
