This collection features photos taken at Swadabs Park, created by the Swinomish Tribe at the site of ancestral village Txiwuc. The Swinomish Channel park features three pavilions resembling woven cedar hats, interpretive panels, and a native plant garden. The park was developed for the 2011 Canoe Journey/Paddle to Swinomish. Swinomish Tribal member and artist Cecelia La Pointe and Swinomish Archivist Theresa Trebon were instrumental in creating a series of interpretive panels here and at nearby Kukutali Preserve.
