More about This is Native Land

Using primary source documents, photographs, and objects, This is Native Land presents important events in Washington State History through an Indigenous lens. The exhibition explores Tribal sovereignty, culture, and resilience while confronting challenges that these communities face, such as boarding schools, removal from land, and cultural genocide. The curators, Dr. Danica Sterud Miller (Puyallup) and Todd Clark (Wailaki), lead the collaborative development process with input from Native Advisory Committee members and consultation with Washington Tribes.

“The intention of this exhibition is not to cast blame or make anyone feel bad about the actions of the past, but it is to recognize these acts as facts and work together to build a path to healing. Unless we recognize these truths, we will never be able to heal these wounds,” said Clark. “It is also not an exhibition of doom and gloom. Native people are strong and resilient and there are numerous stories of hope and even humor that can be seen throughout the exhibition, particularly in the art.”
