In reply to Jen. It’s along the path north of Colman Pool, off the trail toward the bluff.

What a sweet Troll she is! And a great name, too! Idun like the Norse goddess of youth. As long as the old gods ate her apples they stayed young forever (hey, what a sales pitch!). Wife of Bragi, the god of poetry. No wonder she plays and sings to the whales. See the big flute beside her, with carvings of fish and whales! And Bruun in memory of Jens and Inger Bruun. What a great way to be remembered.She is so lovely and sweet, I want her baby! (Can we please get smaller size copies for the garden?)

Rode my bike by today and did a triple take, then circled back to admire this beautiful beast. I can see this becoming a tourist draw. So well executed and great location.

In reply to BJ Bullert. Where can we learn more about this PR campaign? This does NOT surprise me with Harrell one bit.

Eden is lovely, so peaceful in the shade. Really fun to experience her along with kids, dogs and families at park today!

In reply to Josh. I agree with you, largely. As Prof. Josh Reid has noted, the rules set up by the federal government have been designed to prevent non-recognized tribes from being recognized by changing the interpretation of requirements over time. It's like moving the goal posts in a soccer game.Assimilation isn't the same as adaption to a dominant culture. Perhaps there should be a rule change that does justice to the connection to place and doesn't whitewash history.

I love how the dappled sunlight reflects the tree canopy onto Bruunidun’s face. The theme of singing to the orca is so apropos given the passing of Tokitae this week. Let one legend welcome home the spirit of another.

In reply to Josh. Why didn't you just provide a link to the Muckleshoot/Puyallup/Tulalip funded anti-Duwamish website?Do you really believe that the Duwamish people moved out to Auburn to maintain their tribal identity?
