Land Use Acknowledgement
Creative Theatre Experience holds our summer program at South Puget Sound Community College. South Puget Sound sits on the traditional lands of the Medicine Creek Treaty Tribes, which include Squaxin Island and Nisqually Indian Tribes. The 1854 treaty ceding these lands is still in dispute. All who are not Salish peoples are visitors here. With this awareness, we pay respect to elders past and present of the Medicine Creek Treaty Tribes and all Native peoples.
