Preservation Profile: Dennis Lewarch

Since the late 1960s, the Suquamish Tribe of Washington State has organized to demand their legal and civil rights in a path toward self-determination. Along the way, non-Indian partners like Dennis Lewarch have played important roles as allies. 

The Park Cultural Landscapes Program recently had a chance to meet (safely) for conversation with Dennis. He shared reflections on serving the interests of the Suquamish as their first Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), focusing on completion of a Traditional Cultural Place (TCP) nomination for the National Register.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
