With an initial grant from the King County Landmark and Heritage Commission The Center developed and conducted a series of workshops on Washington State History. The workshops focused on methods for examining encounters in the Pacific Northwest between Native Americans, settlers and the U.S. military utilizing original source documentation such as journals, trial transcripts, and photographs.

An Encounters curriculum guide, written by cultural anthropologist Dr. Llyn DeDanaan, has been published and is available through the The Evergreen State College Bookstore at (360) 867-5300.

Following is one of several lessons from the Encounters Curriculum:

  1. Introduction: The Violent Path to Settlement
  2. The Life of Isaac Ingalls Stevens
  3. Obituary of Col. A. Benton Moses
  4. A History of Pierce County
  5. Leschi's Trial Transcript
  6. Commentary on the Leschi Case
  7. Map of the Conal Prairie
