Spokane Garry: A Historical Expedition

Spokane has an amazing, rich history thanks to the Native American tribes that inhabited this land long before white settlers set up camp. Dr. David Beine is taking local history buffs on a guided tour of our city that highlights historical sites related to Chief Spokane Garry. Spokane Garry was a Native leader of the Middle Spokane tribe and also acted as a liaison between white settlers and American Indian tribes in Eastern Washington. His life and legacy live on through parks that bear his name, along with Drumheller Springs, where he taught eager students, and Greenwood Cemetery, his final resting place. If history gets you pumped, you can find more details in the link below.
