Lummi Nation
Bellingham, Washington

 
 
The Lummi Reservation is located on the Puget Sound near the Canadian border. It is actually a peninsula surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges.  There are around 6,590 people living on the reservation, with roughly 2,564 of these being enrolled tribal members. The language, customs, and philosophy of life on the reservation are unique and have survived the ages by being passed down from elder to child. Respect for their heritage and one another are the cornerstones of this community.

MTW teams serve the community through projects such as home repairs and painting, VBS, health fairs, counseling, and ministry to seniors through crafts and music.
