Event Description
The purpose of the Indigenous Housing Summit is to explore the intersection of tribal community planning, housing, and tribal resilience. This event will bring together students, planners, experts, and community members with an interest in tribal housing to share knowledge and create meaningful connections. Together we can further advocacy, education, and relations in the world of tribal housing.
The summit will consist of honored speakers, roundtable discussions, time for conversations, food, and gathering. We are honored to feature presentations from Margo Hill, JD, MURP; the Wenaha Group; the University of Washington; and the
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community.
This is a free event with lunch provided.
