Many students, faculty and staff at UWT have participated in the All the Rivers in the World, Tacoma, river gathering workshops.  River names gifted to the project are included in the permament artwork on campus. Here is a list in progress of river names. In partnership with Danica Miller, Puyallup Tribal Liaison, and with approval of the Tribal Council, we have worked to place in central positions the Lushootseed words for the river and the mountain- in the final form these will be written in Lushootseed text.
