The Suquamish Tribe – People of the Clear Salt Water

The Suquamish people have lived along the shores of the Kitsap Peninsula for more than ten thousand years. Taking their name from the word for “clear salt water,” Suquamish ancestors thrived by harvesting salmon, clams and other natural foods. Their robust culture is rich with art, dance, song, ceremony and ritual.
