Puyallup Tribe of Indians

The Historic Preservation department of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians will work with qualified consultants to conduct a complete digital inventory of its cultural artifacts. The inventory is intended to identify the most at-risk, fragile artifacts in need of immediate conservation. The tribe will create a multi-disciplinary team to draft a historic preservation plan, with the assistance of the consultant and input from the community. The Puyallup Tribe is among the most urbanized federally recognized tribes in the United States and the project is intended to support a process to assertively assess and preserve the S'Puyalupubsh collection to reconnect tribal members to their cultural heritage.
