TILLICUM VILLAGE:-

Experience the Northwest’s tribal culture with our Tillicum Village Sightseeing Tour Cruise and Native American Salmon Bake and Performance. Cruise to historic Blake Island — legendary birthplace of Chief Seattle. On arrival you’ll be greeted with steamed clams in savory nectar. Inside our cedar longhouse, watch salmon being carefully prepared over open fires as it has been for centuries, before you have a chance to taste it for yourself. After your meal, sit back and enjoy our one-of-a-kind stage performance and imagery combining Coast Salish storytelling and live traditional Native American dance.

It’s the only place in the world where you can see these dances and hear these songs, performed by the very dancers whose families have owned them for generations. We’re also proud to feature local native storyteller Roger Fernandes of the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe.
