Happy Native

American

Heritage Day

In an area so rich in Native American history, we honor Washington's first ancestors.

The original inhabitants of the area that is now Washington included: The Puget Sound Salish tribes including the Puyallup, Snohomish, Muckleshoot, Snoqualmie, Nisqually, Skagit, Suquamish, Squaxin, Swinomish, Stillaguamish, and Sauk-Suiattle tribes.


There are 29 federally recognized Indian tribes in Washington today.

Honoring our rich Washington State history today.


Happy Native American History Day!
