Setting Sun Circle
Interested in being a part of the journey?
Children of the Setting Sun is developing our new home, Setting Sun Circle – an Indigenous-led storytelling, innovation, and gathering space in Bellingham’s Downtown Arts District.
For the first time, we will have a space open to the public where we can invite the community and our partners to collaborate and walk with us on this journey to change hearts and minds.
“As storytellers, we’re answering the call to action.”
— Darrell Hillaire
Inside the Circle, storytelling leads the way.
Our new purpose-built space will feature:
An immersive theater
A Coast Salish lifeways gallery
Production and podcast studios
Maker spaces and tooled workshops
An accessible Digital Heritage Library for transformative learning
At the heart of Setting Sun Circle is the continued urgency to drive social and environmental change for the benefit of all people and communities. Our storytellers and innovators will continue to explore real solutions to climate resilience and biodiversity protection and regeneration while upholding Indigenous rights.
Our transformative stories–centered, inspired, and produced–by Indigenous voices, will inspire a shift in culture at scale.
Setting Sun Circle will be a much needed place of hope and a resource for future generations.
We will build on nearly a decade of nationally acknowledged work in our purpose-built space, accelerating Indigenous innovation.
We understand our shared responsibility to create a transformative space of cross-cultural learning through Coast Salish stories, lifeways, and artistic expression.
Our space will need your help!
