  • Following the event, many attendees stopped by and thanked the staff for inviting John Halliday to the Coupeville community. They shared that the conversation was excellent, that it was important for Indigenous voices to be heard and for Native American history to be told by tribal members, and that presentations like this were rare, yet very important for the community as they bring light to little-known, or often misrepresented facts, about Indigenous history.
