The project’s curator Denise Emerson is also Coast Salish, of the Twana people, and this is her first curatorial project. “My parents gave me knowledge and wisdom growing up and I’m sharing it with people now. I never talked about my Native life before. But I have learned people want to know about what my parents and aunts and uncles have taught me. I knew I was different moving about in the city. Going home to the Diné and Skokomish Reservations where my families live gives me strength knowing we’ve been here for thousands of years. I have learned that everywhere I walk, in the city and on reservations, is where I belong.” - Denise Emerson Featured Artists: Caroline Edwards (Swinomish) Denise Emerson (Diné/Twana) Karen Engel (Shoalwater Bay) Kimberly Miller (Skokomish) Abbey Pierson (Cowlitz) *Questions?* Email info@yehawshow.com, call or text 253-336-6477, or use the contact form on our website at yehawshow.com <https://yehawshow.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0f0757c0065c19196da95a398&id=a08ca59a4b&e=821481d4a6> .
