This website acknowledges that the lands and art work documented here are the ancestral home of the Coast Salish people.
This site is intended to supplement two websites called “Visible on Ancestral Lands: Coast Salish Public Art Works in King County” that map and document public art works by Coast Salish artists. The background information here will be enhanced by curriculum aids now in process.
To jump to the different resources, click on menu of titles above the Welcome sign. (On some browsers, a “menu” button will open the choices. On others, the choices are just listed about the word Welcome.) For example, click on “How to Use the Sites,” or on “Coast Salish History,” etc.

These websites refer to the art in King County, and the project will expand through the remaining Coast Salish territories over time.
The material about each Coast Salish art work has been provided by, or reviewed and approved by, each individual artist. Photographs are acknowledged where they appear.
