	Description:		Do you know the true narratives that shape the people, animals and lands of the Salish Coast? This episode of All My Relations explores Lushootseed creation stories as living knowledge, used to understand the past, guide us through the present and prepare us for an uncertain future. Make your face still and quit moving your tailbone as you listen to our conversation with Puyallup Tribal Language Director Amber Hayward and Tidelands co-curator Ashley Frantz (Makah). Amber Hayward walks us through how Lushootseed creation histories were documented in the English language, and only fully understood contemporarily through the movement to revitalize Lushootseed, the language of the Salish Coast. Through this episode we begin to understand the importance of these histories, how to tell and listen to them in a good way and even hear part of the creation story told in Lushootseed. Ashley Frantz joins the conversation to talk about the upcoming art gallery exhibition at All My Relations’ home base Tidelands. A group exhibition co-created with the Puyallup language department and in collaboration with 8 other Tribal Lushootseed language departments (and Lummi). The exhibition will be opening February 7th at 6 PM. All are welcome to the opening reception as well as to see the exhibition which runs through July 2026. Tidelands gallery hours are 11am - 5pm, Wednesday through Sunday, no stairs are required to enter Tidelands or to access the entire exhibition. We hope to see you relatives! Text us your thoughts!
