Department of Archaeological and Cultural Preservation
Welcome!
The Department of Archaeological and Cultural Preservation ( DACP ) is responsible for preserving the cultural resources and archaeological record of the Duwamish Tribe. We provide guidance and comments on SEPA/NEPA notifications and EIS statements within and around the traditional Duwamish lands. Alongside archaeologists we have been present when excavation or soil disturbance occurs in and around our sacred sites.
We work closely with our Tribal elders, consult with local museums, community partners, environmental justice groups, and local governmental entities to preserve our ancestors’ knowledge and cultural resources.
To contact the Department of Archaeological and Cultural Preservation for SEPA, DAHP consultation and EIS statements, please email : preservationdept@duwamishtribe.org.
Please note this is a small department. We do our best to respond as quickly as we can. If you need information about the Duwamish Tribe or to schedule a visit, please email info@duwamishtribe.org or call 206-431-1582.
