Later, a major village would be located near the Mashel River.

WA, Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Location
Seattle, WA Too many people of color are left out of leadership roles. We must change who is at the table in order to achieve racial equity in our community. You can make a difference through nonprofit board service.

You can be a part of that change.
