Indigenous Impact

Eighth Generation

Collect works by the original stewards of this land in citywide galleries, like Stonington Gallery (125 S Jackson St) and Steinbrueck Native Gallery (2030 Western Ave), plus gift shops at the Burke Museum (4300 15th Ave NE) and the Museum of History and Industry (860 Terry Ave N). Eighth Generation (93 Pike St Suite #103), an art and lifestyle brand owned by the Snoqualmie Tribe, sells exquisite blankets, accessories, homewares, stationery, and more. Ballard’s Sacred Circle Gallery (5337 Ballard Ave NW), an offshoot of the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center (5011 Bernie Whitebear Way, Discovery Park), sells intricate jewelry, beadwork, carvings, and wall art, too.

North of Seattle, explore the Hibulb Cultural Center (6410 23rd Ave NE, Tulalip), or ride the ferry to Bainbridge Island and journey up to the Suquamish Museum (6861 NE South St, Suquamish) for educational exhibits and a tribal-owned gift shop. Back in Seattle, the Duwamish Longhouse (4705 W Marginal Way SW) explores the history of the Duwamish People and sells items like books, clothing, and puzzles.

“Please feel good about wearing and enjoying these items and about supporting all these Native artists,” says Vera Maldonado, senior director of revenue for Sacred Circle Art Gallery and retail stores and Daybreak Star Event Center at United Indians of All Tribes Foundation. “It shows the artists you appreciate their culture and designs.”
