Throughout November, Central Kitsap Schools proudly honors Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor the cultures, histories, and contributions of indigenous peoples within our schools and across our communities.
CK Schools is located on the ancestral land of the Suquamish people, “People of the Clear Salt Water.” The Suquamish people are our neighbors who have a rich culture and history as one of the First Peoples of the Pacific Northwest. This month offers a special opportunity to deepen our understanding of the unique traditions, languages, and histories of the Native American tribes in our region, including the
Suquamish Tribe as well as the nearby
Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe.
We invite you to join us for our annual Native American Heritage Month Celebration:
