Land Acknowledgement
Tolt Art Studio stands on the traditional land of the Coast Salish people, specifically the Snoqualmie Tribe (sdukʷalbixʷ). We recognize the historic facts of land theft, abduction, discrimination, genocide, and attempted cultural erasure in King County. We acknowledge the continuing impact of these injustices on the indigenous community. We encourage our guests to seek more information themselves, and to support the vitality of local Coast Salish culture and the Lushootseed language.
