http://suquamish.org/HistoryCulture.aspx
This post is dedicated to my neighbors: The Suquamish Nation. The link describes the history and traditions of the Suquamish people, as well as their recent accomplishments and struggles.It also features quite a bit of information on Chief Sealth (whom the city of Seattle is named after); including the historic speech he gave in Seattle in 1854.Currently, the tribal nation in the process of building an new museum, which will eventually house the thousands of artifacts and culturally significant items of the "People of the Clear Salt Water". It is an exciting time for the Suquamish, as they move past the tragic events of the past and focus on the future preservation of their culture. I am honored and humbled to share these grounds with them.
