Native peoples depend on the low tides to harvest beaches packed with shellfish and seaweeds.
We are aware of the ebb and flow of the waters and how that can impact safe water travel. We are aware of the relationship between the moon and the tide. Historically the changing of the seasons and years were measured by the phases of the moon. This knowledge was often passed down the generations through oral storytelling. Stories were told of how Raven brought us the sun, the moon, and the stars, and how the tide woman agreed to provide low tides so we may eat the foods found when the tide is out.
