The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe of Washington is continuing to raise funds for its House of Knowledge project.

The tribe began the $4.5 million project five years ago to reintroduce its culture to the area. The tribe already completed a longhouse and a career-and-education center. An elders center is under construction

Also in the works is a new public library for the Kitsap region. The tribe is holding a fundraiser on October 8 in order to receive a $250,000 grant from the Gates Foundation. The foundation has already donated half the amount and is waiting on the tribe to raise $180,000 to release the remainder.
