Come experience Shoalwater Bay Tribal history and immerse yourself in our culture. Our museum is home to several exhibits, including a selection of paintings and drawings from tribal artist Eugene Landry, whose works have been shown in venues such as the Washington State History Museum.

Be amazed by our nearly 27-foot-long historic canoe, as well as a collection of contemporary carvings from Shoalwater Bay carvers. Also in the contemporary realm, is our fine art photography collection from tribal member artists like Erik Sanchez and Chutwin. If you are a lover of woven or fiber arts, we also have a case of baskets spanning generations.

 

The newest addition to our museum is our Timeline. Spanning the front wall of the museum, the timeline is a living exhibit of important events, historic family photos and a video installation. We are continuing to add and grow this exhibit, so visit us often to keep up with the changes! If you'd like a preview before visiting, or can't make it in person, click the link below for some examples of what's on our timeline now.
