In 2021, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum brought together a panel of historians to discuss the legacy of the Puget Sound Treaty War (1855-1856). With representatives from the Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Puyallup, Steilacoom, and Squaxin Island Tribes, as well as Fort Nisqually Living History Museum and HistoryLink.org, the panel introduced a new dialogue among diverse communities impacted by the War and its aftermath. The success of this panel series led to the creation of the award-winning Indigenous Voices podcast. The podcast advances tribal voices in the telling of Puget Sound history and shares tribal knowledge and expertise for wider audiences. Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, in partnership with the Fort Nisqually Foundation, Nisqually Tribe of Indians, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Cowlitz Indian Tribe, and History Link, is excited to announce the launch of Season Three of the Indigenous Voices Podcast in 2026.
