The presentation will feature maps and historical photographs of the village pronounced “sh-tch-kwung.”
It “… was a moderately large village that controlled the mouth to Sequim Bay, with a palisaded village core pressed up under the bluff, and lower class and slave cabins and shacks spread along the beach north to Bugge Spit, and across the entrance of the bay on Kiapot Point,” Brownell said in a press release.
