The First of its Kind
The “House of Welcome,” Longhouse Education and Cultural Center opened in 1995 at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. As a public service center of The Evergreen State College, the Longhouse’s mission is to promote Indigenous arts and cultures through education, cultural preservation, creative expression, and economic development.
The Indigenous Arts Campus
The Indigenous Arts Campus studios have allowed the Longhouse to greatly expand its capacity to offer academic classes and a wider variety of residencies and workshops in traditional and contemporary Native arts. The Indigenous Arts Campus has added new dimensions to Evergreen’s educational leadership as an interdisciplinary liberal arts college with a commitment to honoring our government-to-government relationships with tribal nations.
