Join us virtually as Wenatchi/P’squosa elder Randy Lewis presents a traditional blessing of water and salmon.

Lewis, the great-great-grandson of Sam Miller, founder of the Miller-Freer Trading Post, the anchor to the original City of Wenatchee, will retell origin stories related to the Creator’s calling of a grand council of the plants and animals to help feed and care for the newest of creations: humans.
Wenatchee Valley Museum members are invited to participate in a feast of salmon, part of the traditional tribal religion in the Columbia Basin that reinforces the central role salmon and water play for Columbia Basin tribal people in your own home. With a series of videos, we will lead you through building a traditional fire pit as well as preparing and cooking the salmon. Randy will then present the traditional blessing live and you are invited to participate via Zoom.
You decide on how much or how little you would like to participate, whether you go all out and build the fire pit or just cook the fish in your oven, you won’t want to miss Randy’s retelling of the origin story or the moving and sacred blessing of water and salmon. The live blessing will take place at 3:00 pm on Saturday, October 17th.

Through the Garden Gate - Virtual Garden Tour Series
2020-09-13 17:00 - 2020-09-18 16:59 | WA
The Wenatchee Valley sits in the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains. We have a high-desert climate that consists of 9 inches of rain, on average, per year and 200 sunny days. Wenatchee is the perfect place for a variety of gardens.
The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center has put together a series of garden tours showcasing 5 different types of gardens in the Wenatchee Valley.
You will receive a link to each virtual tour to watch at your convenience.
· Our first tour features a garden that uses native plants, designed to attract wildlife and pollinators.
· The next garden is designed to be low maintenance with hardscape and the use of decorative pots.
· The third visit is a garden of a historic home on Orchard Ave. Old trees frame the yard that has been beautifully landscaped.
· We also will visit an East Wenatchee garden of a newer home that has been meticulously decorated with found objects and innovative ideas for outdoor landscaping.
· And lastly a Firewise garden that demonstrates the use of plants that are fire-resistant, showcasing planting designs and techniques that can help protect properties from wildfire damage.
Whether you are a laissez-faire gardener or someone who spends hours in the yard, you are sure to see some ideas that you can incorporate into your own backyard. Join Master Gardener Patti Milos and the homeowner as they take you on a 10-30 minute tour of what’s behind the garden gate.
Please register here:

These tours are offered to you by donation. Your donations help us to create new programs and events.

Racial and economic disparities in health care are known factors contributing to higher morbidity and mortality among those with lower income, and black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), as compared to white Americans. These disparities have a dual impact – not only are they resulting in differences in the actual care and treatment that COVID-19 patients receive, but they also put people in BIPOC communities at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 in the first place.

Environmental Film Series: The Story of Plastic Q&A Session
2020-07-28 12:00 - 13:00 | WA
Environmental Film Series: The Story of Plastic Q&A Session

You’re invited to view the “The Story of Plastic”, and participate in a follow-up Zoom Q&A Session with Jana Fishback, Executive Director of Sustainable Wenatchee on Tuesday, July 28 from 7 – 8 PM. Click here: 61981.blackbaudhosting.com/61981/Online-Film to register and a link to the film will be sent to you. Preview the film at your leisure and join us for a Q&A Session with local plastics experts on Tuesday, July 28 from 7 – 8 PM. Get your questions answered and learn how you can change the way we make, use, and throw away plastic to help improve the sustainability and health of our community.
“The Story of Plastic” takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic pollution and the worldwide effect it has on the health of our planet and the people who inhabit it. Spanning three continents, the film illustrates the ongoing catastrophe: fields full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production and processing. “The Story of Plastic” features interviews with experts and activists on the front lines of the fight, revealing the disastrous consequences of the flood of plastic smothering ecosystems and poisoning communities around the world, and the global movement that is rising up in response. With engaging original animation, archival industry footage beginning in the 1930s, and first-person accounts of the unfolding emergency, the film distills a complex problem that is increasingly affecting the planet’s and its residents’ well-being.
Special thanks to our sponsor: Sustainable Wenatchee, a 501(c)3 non-profit that works to promote a culture of environmental stewardship and social sustainability in North Central Washington.
This film is a part of the Wenatchee Valley Museum’s Environmental Film & Speaker Series. Sponsorship support from foundations, community sponsorships, and individual giving allows us to offer these programs free to the community. This series helps connect our community to the world around us, raise awareness of issues impacting the environment upon which we all depend, and identify actions our community can take to improve and sustain our world and our Valley.
