 SENATE RESOLUTION 596--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

  Ms. CANTWELL (for herself, Mrs. Murray, and Mr. Merkley) submitted 
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Indian 
Affairs:

                              S. Res. 596

       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.
