Looking for something to do this weekend? 🗓️ Don't miss your chance to experience "Daybreak Star 1975 Ground Breaking" at the Sacred Circle Gallery. This exhibit offers a powerful look at the center's origins and the incredible community that made it possible! 🌟

With the deepest gratitude, we thank the Quinault Indian Nation, who generously gifted the timber that continues to shingle this building, and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, for their donation of the logs that still support it. 🙌 Their contributions were crucial in creating this space where Urban Natives can connect with culture, learn traditions, and build community. Don't miss your chance to explore this important history! ⏳

➡️ Visit us from 10am-5pm to learn more! Plan your visit today!

Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate the incredible Pam Nason as she steps into retirement. 🎉 A proud member of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (Nez Perce, Colville, Palus) and a descendent of the Yakama Nation, Pam has dedicated over 30 years to serving our community through her work at United Indians. 💖

Pam began her journey with United Indians in 1991, and from that moment, she became a pillar of the community. Through her work as a teacher, Interim Head Start Director, kayə (grandmother in Lushootseed) in our Home Visiting program, and more, Pam has shaped countless generations, always keeping culture at the forefront of her work. 🌿Among her favorite memories was serving as Seafair Powwow chair in the early 2000's, a testament to her dedication to building community and sharing culture!

As a symbol of our deep gratitude and respect, we wrapped Pam in a blanket to honor her contributions to the community. Pam, your leadership has guided us for decades, and we are eternally grateful! 🙌 We wish you joy in retirement and look forward to hearing all about your adventures! 💫
