Leadership has a traditional meaning to the S’Klallams. Leaders must honor others, give thanks, show respect and use proper etiquette.
According to Joseph H. Stauss, Jamestown S’Klallam descendant and author of
The Jamestown S’Klallam Story:
“The traditional S’Klallam character and behavior is still the expected model: hard workers who are serious about what they do and who have self-control, modesty, courtesy, and generosity, especially with those in need. They reach out to others with dignity and pride.”
Although the governance model has changed over the centuries, these leadership qualities still hold value for the S’Klallam people.
This exhibit will take you on a chronological journey in the realm of Tribal governance, focusing on the people who have led the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe for the past 100 years, and some of their key accomplishments.
