                               RESOLUTION


 
  Recognizing the 29th anniversary of the Tribal Canoe Journey of the 
Tribal Nations of the Pacific Northwest and congratulating the Puyallup 
    Tribe of Indians for hosting the 2018 Power Paddle to Puyallup.

Whereas 2018 marks the 29th anniversary of the first Tribal Canoe Journey, held 
        in Seattle, Washington;
Whereas the Puyallup Tribe of Indians is hosting the Tribal Canoe Journey for a 
        second time with the 2018 Power Paddle to Puyallup;
Whereas, in 2018, more than 100 Tribal canoes, representing more than 60 Tribal 
        Nations from across the United States and Canada, will travel along the 
        Pacific Ocean, the Salish Sea, and the Puget Sound to arrive at the 
        shores of the territory of the Puyallup Tribe;
Whereas the theme of the 2018 Power Paddle to Puyallup is ``Honoring our 
        Medicine'', which is a reminder of the importance of the Pacific Ocean, 
        the Salish Sea, and the Puget Sound to the culture and economy of the 
        Tribal Nations of the Pacific Northwest; and
Whereas the Tribal Canoe Journey is a celebration of the resilient culture and 
        way of life of the Tribal Nations of the Pacific Northwest and Tribal 
        Nations across the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the 29th anniversary of the Tribal Canoe 
        Journey;
            (2) acknowledges that the Tribal Canoe Journey is a vital 
        part of the fabric and culture of the Tribal Nations of the 
        Pacific Northwest; and
            (3) congratulates the Puyallup Tribe of Indians for hosting 
        the 2018 Power Paddle to Puyallup.
                                 <all>
