9 canoes gathered at the shores of Sandy Beach in Douglas, Alaska the day before “Celebration” began on Wednesday, June 11, 2014<\/p><\/div>\n

There have been numerous canoe gatherings along the Northwest Coast for the past 20 years – they started after I moved inland to Colorado.\u00a0 Since 2007, I began spending part time in my home state of Alaska and part time in Colorado, Yukon and wherever my work takes me.\u00a0 This June the timing was right and I made sure I attended this gathering – mainly too because my friend Wayne Price had his first sailing of two traditional dug out canoes that arrived at this gathering – they were the only two traditional canoes; the others were fiberglass.<\/p>\n
