Museum of Glass acknowledges and is grateful to be located on the traditional homelands of the Puyallup Tribe and Coast Salish peoples. The Puyallup people have lived on and stewarded these lands since the beginning of time and continue to do so today. We recognize that this land acknowledgement is one small step toward meaningful allyship and will continue to build inclusive and respectful partnerships to amplify the voices, experiences, and histories of these communities.
