We're Still Here Exhibit
We invite you to join us for the opening of the traveling exhibit We’re Still Here: The Resilience of Washington Tribes.
The exhibit will be on display in the Second Story Gallery during February 6-28, 2026, with the opening reception taking place on Friday, February 6, at 5-8 p.m.
Created by Legacy Washington in partnership with the Washington Secretary of State, with the advice and input of tribal leaders and authorities from around the state, this exhibit explores the enduring presence and strength of Indigenous peoples throughout Washington. Through thoughtfully designed interpretive panels, visitors will learn about tribal connections to the land, the lasting impacts of treaties and colonization, and the ongoing revitalization of culture, language, and traditions.
To complement the exhibit, the Library will host several free public programs that highlight Indigenous voices and storytelling:
- Native Story Hour with Karen Kitchen (Osage Nation)
Saturday, February 7 at 4 p.m. - “Guardian of the Land” Film Screening and Craft
Saturday, February 14 at 4 p.m. - We Live with the Bones of Our Ancestors!
A talk presented by Sam Robinson, Vice-Chairman of the Chinook Indian Nation Council
Monday, February 23 at 6 p.m.
