Fort Spokane from a Tribal Perspective
Fort Spokane, a National Park Service historic site, was a United States Army fort established in 1880 to maintain the boundaries of the newly established Spokane and Colville Indian reservations. After it was decommissioned in 1898, as the soldiers left to fight in the Spanish American War, the U.S. Government turned the buildings into the Fort Spokane Boarding School, based on the Carlyle Indian boarding school of Oklahoma; and ultimately a sanitarium to treat tribal members suffering from tuberculosis. Join former Spokane Tribe Chairman Warren Seyler and Museum Interpretation Manager Logan Camporeale, for this bus and walking tour which focuses on the history of Fort Spokane from a tribal perspective. Tour includes lunch and round trip bus transportation from the Museum to Fort Spokane and back.
