For thousands of years, the Pacific Northwest has been home to dozens of Indigenous tribes and nations whose distinctive cultural traditions have persisted despite centuries of suppression. This year, the Washington State History Museum will produce this free, family-friendly community festival featuring singing, dancing, storytelling, food, a Native arts market, carving and drum-making demonstrations, and a Native designer fashion show. It's a great opportunity to directly support Indigenous artists and come face-to-face with people carrying forward the ancient creative and spiritual traditions of the land we live on.
