Chief Seattle Days

2021

Due to COVID-19, the Suquamish Tribe will have a small event open to Suquamish Tribal Members and their households only.

The Suquamish Tribe is grateful and appreciative of the relationships people have created within Suquamish and the surrounding communities. Due to COVID-19 we are keeping our gatherings small for safety. We are looking forward to hopefully opening up Chief Seattle Days to the larger community in 2022.
