United Indians of All Tribes Foundation

United Indians of All Tribes Foundation is a private nonprofit corporation that was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1970. We began as a small group of Northwest Native Americans and their supporters, led by the late Bernie Whitebear, who occupied Fort Lawton to reclaim a land base for the urban Indians living in and around Seattle.  A twenty-acre site was eventually secured for this purpose in what is now Discovery Park.

Our headquarters, the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, was completed in 1977, and has become a hub of activity for Native peoples and their supporters locally, nationally, and internationally.  Daybreak Star is also  home to a permanent collection of Native art, as well as the Sacred Circle Gallery featuring rotating exhibits of work by contemporary Native artists. Sacred Circle Gift Shop is located at Daybreak Star, as well as Fremont, and the annual Seafair Indian Days Powwow and Indigenous People’s day celebrations are held here.
