SUQUAMISH TRIBE Port Madison Indian Reservation, Washington
The Port Madison Indian Reservation is located on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington State. Situated on the waterfront across the Puget Sound from Seattle, the reservation is home to the Suquamish people, a fishing tribe whose leader was Chief Seattle, after whom the city took its name.
http://www.suquamish.nsn.us/index.html
 Chief Seattle, a hereditary leader of the Suquamish Tribe, was born around 1786, passed away on June 7, 1866, and is buried in the tribal cemetery at Suquamish, Washington. The speech Chief Seattle recited during treaty negotiations in 1854 is regarded as one of the greatest statements ever made concerning the relationship between a people and the earth - that speech, published in the Seattle Sunday Star , Seattle, Washington Territory, October 29, 1887, is reproduced here for you.

Totem Poles World-Wide
The cross-cultural fascination with totem poles is reflected by the surprisingly high number of totem pole sites on the World Wide Web. Although these websites are spread over ten countries, only two of these - Canada and USA - have an indigenous tradition of totem poles. This internet resource lists selected totem pole websites by their place of origin: American (33); Austrian (1); Belgian (1); British (4); Canadian (53); Dutch (3); Finnish (1); German (5); Icelandic (1); and Swedish (1). Of a total of 102 sites, 18 are identified as aboriginal-owned (First Nations).

U'mista Cultural Centre, Alert Bay, B.C. CANADA
In earlier days, people were sometimes taken captive by raiding parties. When they returned to their homes, either through payment of ransom or by a retaliatory raid, they were said to have "U'mista". The return of our treasures from distant museums is a form of U'mista

The Kootenai Indians lived in the West Kootenay area of B.C. for about 3000 years . As the glacial age came to an end about 10,000 years ago, new land became available . Indian tribes from the south began moving north into this ever-changed land . Rivers changed course and lakes were created and massive amounts of soil were deposited by the four km thick ice sheet . The climate of the West Kootenay was mild and fish were abundant, making life easy for the first Kootenay settlers . The area covered by the seven bands of the Kootenai Indians was from just east of the Rocky Mountains, west to Castlegar, north to Canal Flats, and south 200 km into the U.S.A.

First Nations Territories of the Pacific Northwest - A Condensed History of the Northwest Coastal People
The coast of Western North America from the Columbia River northward into southeastern Alaska was the focus of one of the most outstanding developments of art by the American Indian. The height of the attainment seems all the more remarkable when one considers that the native population of this region pursued a fishing, hunting and gathering way of life without the presence of the agricultural base so often considered a prerequisite for great artistic elaboration by a society.
