Swinomish Tribes

I took these pictures today.  The Tribal Community is about 30+minutes away and I like to shop at the Tradingpost.

Looks like a wonderful place to visit...when you shop there, what do you buy?

I think one would have to know a little Swinomish to understand all the symbols on the totems.

Okay. I would like to stop there too. I'm sure it can be arranged on our upcoming road trip.

A fine shot of the Tribal sign. A very colorful and informative shot that gives us a view into the local culture. Nice one.

I always like to shop at Any trading post. Love the PNW art.

It is interesting to see old symbols and new logos together...

The carvings show up beautifully in the glorious sunshine we finally had yesterday.

I love the totem poles. What do you buy there?

There is always so much thought and wisdom in the translations. They must be a peace loving nation.

Hi Mary Beth, It's great to have an Indian community so close. I'd love to shop at the Trading Post also... Great picture.
Hugs,

Being part Cherokee I am amazed at how many tribes there are I never heard about. I bet it is interesting shopping.

Seems as if Blogger is being difficult today, so I hope these comments make it. I love totem poles. I would enjoy going with you to the Trading Post. Peace
