We\u2019re excited to announce the recipients of the 2024 Washington Stories Fund! The purpose of the fund is to record and share with the broader community the little-known stories of people or groups whose contributions add to the cultural richness and health of Washington State.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Washington Stories Fund is a tool to dismantle barriers and enhance cultural understanding through the public humanities. This grant seeks to elevate the stories of underrepresented people or groups and enhance the public\u2019s awareness of new and unique perspectives and cultures. It also aims to cast constructive new light on current issues, nurture compassion, and prompt action.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thanks to additional funding this year, we were able to increase the number of awards from two to five. More information, including event dates, will be shared in the coming months. <\/span>Sign up for our email list<\/span><\/a> to get updates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Washington Women\u2019s History Tour: Suffrage Lecture Series<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Suffrage Lecture Series provides a dramatic chronology of the suffrage movement across Washington State with a special focus on under-represented voices. Through historical materials, first-person accounts, and biographical dramatizations, little-known stories of BIPOC women in the Washington suffrage movement will be brought to life. Featured stories will illuminate both the personal histories of women and their unique challenges within each of their socio-cultural contexts, as well as their collective experiences in the American suffrage movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Young and Indigenous Podcast: Fish War Series<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Young and Indigenous (YAI) Podcast will create a limited podcast series around the history of the Fish Wars in Coast Salish Territory. This initiative is part of a broader approach to exploring the true histories of tribal sovereignty by Indigenous youth. Fifty years ago, the Boldt Decision not only affirmed tribal fishing rights in the Pacific Northwest, but was a milestone in restoring Native sovereignty and honoring treaty rights. The YAI team will travel the coast and interview key people who were involved in fishing, activism, and legal battles in both the pre- and post-Boldt Decision eras.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
