pleased and grateful to announce the new documentary <i>Canoe Way: The
Sacred Journey</i> was selected to play at the American Indian Film
Festival on November 10th in San Francisco. Producers Robert Satiacum
and Mark Celletti would like to thank and acknowledge everyone who gave

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">The revival
of cedar canoe culture and Tribal Journeys is one of the most
significant cultural movements of our time. It serves as an example of <i>healing
through tradition</i> for indigenous cultures throughout the world.
Knowledge of the earth and sea, customs, language, and spiritual
practices – nearly erased from our human experience – are triumphantly
reestablished and celebrated through the canoe pulling and ceremonies
of each Tribal Journey. Coastal natives, reconnect with the ancestors,
with the traditions, with each other, with the water. </span><span

taking our canoes out of the museums and putting them back in the water
– and showing the world our culture is alive.” </span></i><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 6pt;"><font size="3"><span
style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">This
documentary bears witness to a turning point - back to wholeness for
Native Americans of the Northwest Coast. And we thank the many people
who opened up their hearts lives and traditions to make this film
possible.</span><span style="color: black;"></span></font></p>
