Ancient Shores, Changing Tides
The new Suquamish Museum is a testament to the resilience of the Coast Salish tribe whose most famous leader gave the city of Seattle its name. Instead of a chronological history, the exhibition in this new museum explores the timeless values of Suquamish culture.
The exhibition’s intent is to inspire visitors to see, listen and learn in a different way. Culture is more than historical events strung together. The passing of knowledge and values, generation to generation, is at the heart of Suquamish culture. As part of this rich learning environment, the design integrates Lushootseed, the language of the Suquamish.
