Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day!

Honoring and celebrating Indigenous peoples’ rich histories, cultures, and contributions. Let us recognize their enduring strength and resilience while committing to justice and respect for Indigenous rights.

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day created to honor Indigenous American peoples and commemorate their various histories and cultures both past and present.

Seattle is a city built on Native land with strong historical and modern ties to the Coast Salish peoples. Coast Salish makes up the indigenous people living in the Pacific Northwest Coast from the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon to the Bute Inlet in British Columbia.

Archaeological evidence indicates that Coast Salish regions have been inhabited since 9000 BC and today there are an estimated 56,000 Coast Salish peoples living in the US and Canada.
