Nisqually Moving Forward
On May 5, 2014, legendary Nisqually Tribal leader Billy Frank Jr., passed away after a lifetime of fighting for Tribal fishing and land rights. Known as one of the greatest leaders in Pacific Northwest history, his life’s work led from being violently arrested at age 14 for exercising the right to fish to being honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom a year after his death. Today Billy Frank Jr.’s son Willie Frank III, recently elected as Nisqually Tribal Chairman and one of the youngest leaders in his Tribe’s history, continues these efforts. Over the next year, he will carry out the honoring of his father with a statue in Washington D.C. in Statuary Hall. As his father once said, “The fight is never over—the fight for who we are and our culture and our way of life.”

For My Ancestors
“My work is a struggle between my deepest fears and my most hopeful hope in humanity.” – Aisha Harrison
Aisha’s artwork tells stories of bravery, trauma and love. For my Ancestors is a journey of connection to her art and, through it, awaken to the bigger narratives that humanity still needs to address.
