About United Indians of All Tribes Foundation

United Indians of All Tribes Foundation operates the Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, a comprehensive hub serving Seattle and King County's urban Native community with culturally responsive services and programming. Since 1970, the organization has been committed to providing essential support tailored to the unique needs of Native peoples in the region. The Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center, completed in 1977, functions as the foundation's headquarters and serves as a dynamic gathering place for Native Americans, Alaska Natives, and their supporters from across the local, national, and international communities. The center houses a permanent collection of Native art and features the Sacred Circle Gallery, which showcases rotating exhibitions of contemporary Native artists' work. Beyond its cultural offerings, the foundation operates multiple service delivery points throughout Seattle, including the Labateyah Youth Home and the Daybreak Star Preschool, demonstrating a commitment to serving Native families across different life stages. The organization also manages the Sacred Circle Gift Shop, operates at two Seattle locations, and hosts significant community events including the annual Seafair Indian Days Powwow and Indigenous Peoples Day celebrations. As a private nonprofit corporation established in Seattle, Washington, United Indians of All Tribes Foundation continues the vision of its founder Bernie Whitebear, who led the historic 1970 occupation of Fort Lawton to secure a land base for urban Indians. Today, the organization remains dedicated to advancing justice and self-determination for Native communities in the Seattle area through culturally grounded services and programming.
