 Capital Campaign

Over 17 Million dollars have already been contributed to the Capital Campaign for Cultural Resurgence. The Suquamish Tribe has dedicated $13 million to supporting this endeavor and the Foundation has raised over 4 million more. We still need your help to get to our goal of 20 million The last project on our roster, in addition to the others you will see details of below, is the new Suquamish Museum and Arts Center.


 

House of Awakened Culture
At the center of our cultural resurgence is the new Suquamish Community House, sgwәdzadad qәł ?altxw  (The House of Awakened Culture), modeled after its historic predecessor.

 

 

Early Learning Center
The new Marion Forsman-Boushie Suquamish Early Learning Center opened its doors in May 15, 2007.  The new building is a 12,000 square foot space on the Tribe's 20-acre education campus. The facility provides culturally appropriate child care, Early Head Start and Head Start, and parent/caregiver involvement programs...

 

 

Community Dock
Suquamish elders remember when visitors and trades people were welcomed at the old Mosquito Fleet Ferry Dock in downtown Suquamish.  In the 1930s, a community dock took the place of the pier, but is has since deteriorated and was demed unusable...

 

 

Chief Seattle's Grave

Suquamish Museum
The Suquamish Museum and Arts Center will be a 9,000 square foot facility designed to create a visitor-focused immersion experience in past and present Suquamish culture. Designed by the team of Mithun Architects and AldrichPears Associates, exhibit design, the building will feature 3,010 square feet of interior exhibits, a 100-seat theater, a permanent exhibit and a temporary exhibit gallery...

 

 

Community Ball Field
From the late 1800s through 1962, the Community Baseball Field was a hub of activity. It supported baseball, softball and other community activities. In 1965, the Tribe made the difficult decision to lease the land in order to fund critical health services for tribal members. Now the Tribe will construct a full-sized ball field for all ages and available for use by the Tribe and surrounding North Kitsap communities. We expect the new ball field to become a central gathering place for outdoor tribal celebrations and community events...


  

The Suquamish Foundation is excited to be over half way to our fundraising goal!
