SUMMARY:2026 Paddle to Nisqually Medicine Creek Potlatch
DESCRIPTION:SUPPORT THE 2026 CANOE JOURNEY\nThe Interfaith Network for Indigenous Communities (INIC) urges you to attend and support the 2026 Paddle to Nisqually Medicine Creek Potlatch hosted by the Nisqually Tribe July 31-August 5. Participation by people of faith and conscience offers respect and solidarity with Pacific Northwest indigenous peoples\, cultures and communities. Hosting the Potlatch is a remarkable undertaking requiring hundreds of volunteers. INIC is encouraging faith communities and individuals to volunteer before and/or during the event. \nLearn more about the event\, volunteer opportunities\, sponsorship\, and paddle landings en route here: https://www.nisqually nsn.gov/heritage/Medicine_Creek_Potlatch_Journey \nThere are also ongoing opportunities to help with gift-making led by Nisqually tribal members noted here and on the flyer (we recommend you call first to confirm). These gifts will be given to guest tribal members. \nIf you are not in the Nisqually area\, connect with your local tribe to learn if you could be of help or witness at a paddle landing. \nPlease contact Faith Action Network (fan@fanwa.org) to let us know if you are planning to volunteer or attend. \nFrom the Nisqually Tribe: “Canoe Journey 2026\, Paddle to Nisqually Medicine Creek Potlatch\, continues an inter-tribal celebration and annual gathering of Northwest indigenous nations… The Canoe Journey has grown to include over 100 canoes and the participation of Canoe Families from other native canoe cultures\, including Native American tribes\, First Nations peoples\, Alaska Natives\, Inuit\, Maori\, Native Hawaiians\, and other indigenous peoples from across the world… Canoe Journey gatherings are rich in meaning and cultural significance. Canoe families travel great distances as their ancestors did and participating in the journey requires physical and spiritual discipline. At each stop\, canoe families follow certain protocols\, they ask for permission to come ashore\, often in their native languages. At night in longhouses there is gifting\, honoring and the sharing of traditional prayers\, drumming\, songs and dances. Meals\, including evening dinners of traditional foods\, are provided by the host nations. \nDownload the flyer: INIC Urges Support for 2026 Canoe Journey.pdf \n

SUMMARY:Engaging Our Faith Communities for Free and Democratic Elections
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this statewide\, virtual training to learn how to engage your faith community for free and democratic elections. \nThe right to vote is sacred\, fought for over generations and defended throughout the years. In the current administration\, we have seen a renewed effort to suppress and limit the right to vote of eligible groups\, suppress voter turnout\, and purposefully create confusion and mistrust in the electoral system. As trusted messengers\, faith communities can share accurate\, up-to-date information about voting and have the relational networks to encourage voter turnout through honest conversations and timely reminders. \nIn this non-partisan training\, we will cover: \n\nWhat our faith traditions say about voting and the democratic process\nThe current attempts to keep eligible Americans from voting through federal interference\, voter intimidation\, and false anti-immigrant claims of non-citizen voting\nNon-partisan ways you can engage your faith community in the electoral process\, including ballot initiatives\, and supporting free and democratic elections\\nExample programming and actions that your faith community can take to uplift and make visible the sacred right of voting and our shared values of democracy and voice Faith communities\, faith leaders\, and individuals with all levels of experience with get out the vote (GOTV)\, civic engagement\, and initiative education are welcome!\n\nRegister Here
