Moon of the Salal Berry
Summary:
In 2021, CSSP started a collaboration with the Swinomish people by creating a video series corresponding to the 13 Moons curriculum, offering a video for each moon.Cultural Narrative:
Much of August is the Moon of the Salal Berry. Many plants are ready to harvest during this moon. Chinook runs are reaching their peak with the summer run continuing and the fall run starting up the river. Fall Chinook run through the next two moons. During the Moon of the Salal Berry, Swinomish hosts an annual clambake, a community-wide event that celebrates Swinomish culture at a culturally-significant location.
