"The #SalmonPeople aren’t hardly here no more. We need to talk to them. We need you, Salmon People; the LifeGivers . You gave up your lives so we can live. It is important for our people, about who we really are. We sit in the lap of #MotherEarth learning all there is to learn…not all at once, but built up over a lifetime, every day. We need to keep learning. To never quit learning. - #Lummi #FirstNation #Elder
