Indigenous Voices from Fort Nisqually

Written by: Fort Nisqually Living History Museum
  • Summary

  • In 2021, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum brought together a panel of historians to discuss the legacy of the Puget Sound Treaty War (1855-1856). With representatives from the Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Puyallup, Steilacoom, and Squaxin Island Tribes, as well as Fort Nisqually Living History Museum and HistoryLink.org, the panel introduced a new dialogue among diverse communities impacted by the War and its aftermath. The Indigenous Voices Podcast is an extension of this award winning series. The podcast uplifts tribal voices in the telling of Puget Sound history, sharing tribal knowledge and expertise with wider audiences. This podcast is generously supported by the City of Tacoma Historic Preservation Office and the Tacoma Arts Commission.

  • Teaching Stations: Puget Sound Treaty Memorials Past Present and Future Pt 2
    Jan 31 2023

    Monuments and memorials to the Treaty War can be found throughout Western Washington. Many of these monuments were placed over a century ago and reflect a one-sided and racist view of the conflict.

    In episodes 11 and 12 we discuss these monuments, how tribal participants experience them, and we ask what a monument that provides an opportunity for reconciliation and learning would look like.

    Panelists include:

    • Brandon Reynon, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Puyallup Tribe
    • Danny Marshall, Chairperson, Steilacoom Indian Tribe
    • Nettsie Bullchild, Director of Nisqually Tribal Archives/Nisqually Tribal Historic Preservation Office
    • Warren KingGeorge, Historian, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe
