Pacific Northwest Native American History & Biography

This list of Pacific Northwest Native American history and biography was created by a librarian at The Seattle Public Library in conjunction with Beyond the Frame, a community-wide initiative revisiting the photographs of Edward S. Curtis and sparking conversations on Native identity, race and resilience, art and culture. This list accompanies the Library's exhibit "Protecting the x̌ʷəlč : Indigenous Stewardship of the Salish Sea" (June 15 to August 30, 2018 at the Central Library).
