Historic Talks in Historic Buildings
October 2nd
7:30-9:00 PM (Doors at 7pm)
Stimson Green Mansion (1204 Minor Ave, Seattle)
At the age of 55, John Halliday became legally blind. As a Muckleshoot Tribal member of Duwamish ancestry, Halliday says his Native American world view, cultural traditions, and values, which have sustained Native tribes throughout history, long before colonization, have helped him overcome the challenges associated with losing his sight.
Too often, our understanding of American history begins with foreign European powers “settling” the land—as though no thriving human communities existed here. Woven in with John’s personal story, audiences will learn Washington State history from a Native American perspective, and how that history can teach resilience.
This event is a part of a lecture series, “Historic Talks in Historic Buildings,” hosted in partnership with Historic Seattle and Humanities Washington.
