Time is running out! If you would like to attend the Forum and/or Potlatch Ceremony, please pre-register here.
In the face of impending climate change, pro-active steps taken now will help us to achieve cultural and environmental sustainability. The 2007 Forum focuses on how we can work together to meet the challenges of climate change and sustainability in our region. Presentations will address when and how climate is expected to change and what the impacts will be to our ecosystems. Model watershed approaches and agricultural and urban water strategies will be presented as a way forward. Then ways that local government can meet the challenges will be demonstrated. Finally, the spiritual and cultural dimensions of this challenge will be discussed.
Featured speakers include:
- Billy Frank Jr., Chair, NW Indian Fisheries Commission
- Dr. Ed Miles, UW Climate Impacts Group
- Terry Williams, Tulalip Tribes
- Tony Usibelli, Washington Commerce, Trade, and Economic Development
- Mike Shelby, Western Washington Agriculture Association
- Steve Moddemeyer, City of Seattle
- Ron Sims, King County Executive
- Micah McCarty, Councilman, Makah Tribe
Continental breakfast, coffee breaks, and a lunch of traditional fire-baked salmon will be provided. Following the Forum, please join us at a Gala Reception celebrating 15 years of Salmon Homecoming. A special Potlatch Ceremony to honor our many long time friends and supporters of Salmon Homecoming will conclude the day.
