Celeste Dybeck, elder with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe in Sequim, invites the pullers from the Quileute Tribe in La Push to come ashore at Fort Worden in Port Townsend and rest and eat before continuing the Paddle to Muckleshoot for the annual Tribal Canoe Journey. The tribal members are wearing purple, the color of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Children movement, to honor the memory of tribal member Virginia Castaneda, 19, who was murdered in a domestic violence dispute about six years ago.
