Keep Clam and Carry On

For millennia, clam culture has infused our region with mythology, humor and flavor. Clams were eaten and traded in vast numbers by Indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest. One First Nations people traced the origin of humanity to a clamshell opened by a raven. Settlers too discovered how essential clams were and even sang about them as the key to contentment.
