Although we tend to think of urban and Native American histories as somehow separate, in Seattle they have been inextricably linked, from first contact at the end of the 18th century to the environmental crises of the early 21st. As diverse peoples have learned to call this place home and to live with each other here, ideas about place, belonging, landscape, and nature have been central to this story. Scholar and author Coll Thrush discusses the many complicated and sometimes conflicted encounters among the peoples of this special place.

Coll Thrush, a native of Auburn, Washington, is assistant professor of history at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, where he teaches Indigenous, environmental, cultural, and world histories. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Washington and is the author of Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place.
