The new exhibit Tulalip Indian Fair chronicles the fair, which was held annually from 1915-1927. These agricultural fairs were another way that the federal government tried to assimilate regional tribes, with the goal of training people to be farmers — replacing the traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle. During these fair years, Tulalip people emphasized their Native handicrafts. This display was reproduced with the aid of historic photographs from Hibulb’s archival collection and features original artifacts from the fair. This exhibition is targeted for children, with an opportunity to play in a “garden,” visit a reproduction display of the Indian Fair, informational panels, a touch-screen interactive and a video.
