We are in conjunction with the brigade. We helped put on an event for the Brigade when they came through Kettle Falls Washington where over 120 people paddling in birch-bark and dugout canoes and participated in a building seminar.

We are celebrating the history of the Columbia River like the brigade. Our organizations mission is different then theirs though. We facilitate educational expeditions on the Columbia River, where we take students padding in birchbark and dugout canoes and set up tee-pees to sleep in at night.
