Heritage Skills Workshop: Beeswax for Beginners @ Fort nisqually Living History museum
Tickets
Mar 6 @ 1:00 pm

Properties of beeswax, as well as other oils and butters, will be explained giving you the knowledge needed to design products to fit your needs. From lip balm and lotion to furniture polish and aftershave, this class will provide a list of options and you will be able to select the product you’d most like to make.

Beeswax for 1 product and learning materials will be supplied (local pick up), but you will need to purchase the remaining ingredients for the item(s) you select. Bring your video conferencing to the kitchen for this informational yet hands-on experience!

This course will be instructed by Lauren Anderson, science teacher, who manages the student-run apiary for Tacoma students, Bee 253 and owner of Calm+Confidence Beekeeping.

Fort from Home: Puget Sound Treaty War @ Online Virtual
Tickets
Mar 11 all-day

The Puget Sound Treaty Wars (1855-1856) was an armed conflict between soldiers of the regular U.S. Army, Washington Territorial volunteers and warriors from tribes involved in the Medicine Creek Treaty. The contested terms of the treaty, negotiated by Governor Isaac Stevens, sought the relocation of local tribes to reservations in exchange for cash payments and the preservation of hunting and fishing rights. The treaty became a catalyst for the conflict.

The Treaty Wars remain central to Puget Sound history and our understanding of its communities. Join Fort Nisqually Living History Museum and representatives from the Nisqually, Puyallup, Squaxin Island and Muckleshoot Tribes for a panel discussion on the legacy of these events.

Panelists include:

· Annette Bullchild, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Nisqually Tribe

· Brandon Reynon, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, Puyallup Tribe

· Jerry Eckrom, Historian, Fort Nisqually Living History Museum

· Margaret Henry, Oral Historian, Squaxin Island Tribe

· Warren KingGeorge, Historian, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe

Fort from Home: Martialing Fort Nisqually @ Online Virtual
Tickets
Mar 13 @ 11:00 pm

Over the winter of 1855 and 1856 soldiers from the American military base at Fort Steilacoom were posted at Fort Nisqually. The soldiers were stationed here at the request of the Fort’s Chief Factor at the outbreak of the Puget Sound Treaty Wars. On March 13th, living history volunteers from the Historic Fort Steilacoom Association will be interpreting this lesser known history of the Fort for our visitors. Come out to the Fort or tune in virtually for interviews with American “soldiers.”
