Since the late 20th century, the Lummi have worked to revive elements of their traditional culture. From July 30 to August 4, 2007, the Lummi hosted their first potlatch since the 1930s: they called it the Tribal Canoe Journeys Paddle to Lummi event. In a revival of traditional practice, 68 families paddled hand-made canoes to the Lummi Reservation from parts of Washington and British Columbia to celebrate a potlatch.Lummi hosts largest potlatch in 70 years : ICT [2007/08/13] Similar tribal canoe journeys have been held to other destinations in Puget Sound, as tribes take turns hosting this event.
