Land Acknowledgment

Tribal Resources

We recognize that today, here at the museum in Port Townsend [qátay “kah-tai”], we are on the politically sovereign and traditional territory of the S'Klallam Peoples as well as the traditional territories of the Chemakum Peoples. Throughout broader Jefferson County, we are on the ancestral homelands of many different tribes of the Olympic Peninsula. Native peoples have lived on and stewarded these lands since time immemorial and continue to do so today.
