Lummi Tribal member Chenoa Egawa hosts the program during the Omak Stampede and world famous Suicide Race in north central Washington State, near the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. The Colvilles have been racing horses up and down the hillsides and across the rivers of the region since time immemorial. The ‘Suicide Race’ held every August shows off the spectacular horsemanship of the Tribal members. The Omak Stampede event also includes a pow wow, stick game tournament, Colville Indian village encampment, a grand parade and rodeo; drawing altogether more than 100,000 visitors and millions of tourist dollars to the area each summer.
