LAST MONTH'S CONTEST

Congratulations to Barbara of Seattle. She is the winner of last month’s WHERE IN WASHINGTON contest, which featured photos of the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center located in Discovery Park in Seattle's Magnolia district. 

The Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center is the headquarters of the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, which offers services and programs to King County's urban Native community. The beautiful building was completed in 1977; it is open to the public and provides a hub of activities, including celebrations such as the annual Seattle Powwow. Daybreak Star houses a collection of Native art, rotating exhibits, and the Sacred Circle Gift Shop.

The history of Daybreak Star began in 1970 when a small group of Native Americans, led by Bernie Whitebear, occupied Fort Lawton -- which had been declared surplus by the US Department of Defense. The protesters worked to reclaim a land base for the urban Indians living in and around Seattle, since treaties had promised the reversion of surplus military lands to their original owners. The small band of peaceful protestors were confronted by armed military police. You can learn more, including interviews with the occupiers, by visiting the University of Washington's Seattle Civil Rights Project (https://depts.washington.edu/civilr/FtLawton_press.htm).
