SEATTLE \u2014 Dozens of tribal canoes were arriving at Alki Beach in Seattle as part of an annual Native American celebration.<\/p>\n

Members of the Muckleshoot Tribe greeted the boats Wednesday afternoon as part of the 2016 Paddle to Nisqually.<\/p>\n

Last year was the first time since 1993 that there wasn\u2019t a Puget Sound tribal journey, which attracts Native American peoples from as far as Alaska and Canada.<\/p>\n

For the journeys, tribes throughout the Northwest gather a team of pullers. They leave their own shores in canoes and visit other tribal lands as they make their way to the host tribe\u2019s land.<\/p>\n

On Saturday canoes were expected to arrive at the Port of Olympia landing, where they will be greeted by members of the Nisqually Tribe.<\/p>\n
