    Last month “The Strong People: A History of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe” was released.

    Every member of the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe plays a role in protecting our stories, culture and traditions. Sometimes the passage of time and creep of modern life cause some of the old ways to fade away, but what is lost isn’t always forgotten.
