Tribal history is in the spotlight this month when David Brownell presents “Glimpses of a S’Klallam Village at Washington Harbor,” at the North Olympic History Center/Clallam County Historical Society’s History Tales, set for 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 5, at First United Methodist Church, 110 E. Seventh St., Port Angeles.

History Tales is free and open to the public. The program will be held in the social hall; parking and entry are on Laurel Street.

Brownell, cultural resources specialist with the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe, will present his extensive ethnographic and archaeological research on one of the tribe’s ancestral villages that stood at Washington Harbor. The presentation will feature maps and historical photographs of the village pronounced “sh-tch-kwung.”

The village, program organizers say, was a “moderately large village that controlled the mouth to Sequim Bay, with a palisaded village core pressed up under the bluff, and lower class and slave cabins and shacks spread along the beach north to Bugge Spit, and across the entrance of the bay on Kiapot Point.”
