Pecha Kucha Night Seattle and the Seattle Art Museum are proud to present INDIAN COUNTRY: ENDURING GIFTS. We’ve assembled an amazing roster of presenters from across the wide spectrum of the Pudget Sound’s Native communities. Please join us for this memorable evening, which is taking place during SAM’s Free First Thursday’s Art For All. Enjoy a nosh, meet new friends, explore the museum, and get ready for an evening of amazing presentations. WE’D LOVE TO SEE YOU THERE!

The event will coincide with SAM's recent acquisition of The End of the Ancestors (1992) by Gerald Bruce Subiyay Miller with Art for All: An Evening of Skokomish Song and Dance in commemoration of the new work. The Skokomish song and dance group will perform at 5:30 p.m.
