The People of Cascadia: A NW Native American History Workshop
Step back in time.  Educators, students and families will enjoy this all-day workshop.  Be challenged by traditional Pacific NW Native American seasonal hands-on skills building activities.

These stations will be geared to a variety of skill levels; with each station offering an 'Educators' activity that can be used in education programs with youth and an advanced activity for each person to make a sample object such as fish knives, fiber and net, or healing salve from native plants, or to sample  traditional foods and more.  Children must shadow parents at all times.  Lunch is provided.  Enrolled Duwamish members should call tribal office for workshop scholarship.
