AFSC's Seattle Indian Program supports Native sovereignty, economic justice and cultural preservation efforts.
Our Projects:
Economic Justice for Native Artists, in partnership with the Northwest Justice Project, seeks to rally support for passage of a Washington State Indian Arts and Crafts Act which protects the authenticity of Native arts and crafts, develop a companion tribal Arts and Crafts Code, and explore establishment of a Washington registry program for Native artisans.
Canoe Nations Support Consortium, a new nonprofit organization to support the annual Intertribal Canoe Journey, assisted by AFSC and the Potlatch Fund in its development.
Coming in 2012: Conflict Resolution training and cultural support for Native Prisoners in the Puget Sound area!
