PORT ANGELES — Leaders of the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe will be in Seattle tonight to lead a lecture about the ancestral village of Tse-whit-zen.
The lecture, which will include a slide show, will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Seattle Art Museum, 100 University St.
Leading the talk will be Frances Charles, chairwoman of the tribe, as well as tribal members Carmen Watson-Charles and Arlene Wheeler.
The program is being organized through the museum’s Native Arts of the Americas and Oceania Council, said Louisa Schreier, manager of public programs for the Seattle Art Museum.
“They regularly organize talks about tribes from all over the country,” Schreier said.
She said that this lecture is more interesting to the council because it deals with a local tribe.
Tse-whit-zen is the largest ancient Native American village ever unearthed in the state.
