Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation

The Suquamish Tribe will care for and further document two significant archaeological collections and additional archaeological artifacts. The artifacts and associated field notes and maps will also be digitally photographed in preparation for a website-based platform, allowing the Suquamish Museum to share images and information about Suquamish history and culture with Suquamish tribal members and researchers. At the conclusion of the project, the Suquamish Museum will have the artifacts, notes, and maps assembled together, which will better provide information about the Suquamish people over the last 4,000 years. Producing a record, eventually available on the Internet, will allow comparative analysis amongst Suquamish sites and other documented Salish sites in the region.
