Archaeology

Monday, October 14, was Indigenous Peoples' Day in the City of Seattle and at the new Burke Museum!

From the food we put in our bodies to the furniture we put in our homes, human life is shaped by “stuff” all around us—and our stuff reveals surprising truths about our lives.

Celebrate Grand Opening with singers, dancers, poets and DJs, and be among the first to see the New Burke!

While there have been enormous changes in Coast Salish Native diet and culture over the centuries, a core value of food has survived.

Explore the dramatic changes to Seattle's landscapes and shorelines through The Waterlines Project.

Tribal relations, cultural protocols, educational programs, exhibits, and more.

We offer several scholarships each year to students, traditional knowledge holders, archaeology professionals and others to use the Burke’s archaeological collections.
