North Sound Voices is based out of northwest Washington State: Island, San Juan, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties, home to eight Tribal nations who have inhabited this land since time immemorial: Lummi Nation, Nooksack Tribe, Upper Skagit Tribe, Samish Indian Nation, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians, Tulalip Tribes, and Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe.This podcast is produced by North Sound ACH, a nonprofit where collaborative learning is prioritized, crossing traditional jurisdictional boundaries, and looking upstream to tackle issues that impact health. We exist to create a just and inclusive culture and the necessary conditions for all community members to thrive. Visit us at northsoundach.orgCoast Salish Octopus Design by Marysa Sylvester
