Kooskooskie Commons recreates the energy and community of a town square; where people gather for conversation, celebration, and to conduct commerce.

Through the telling and retelling of stories, our common dreams, desires, and concerns are discovered.

Like the spiral construction of a Native American basket--a series of connecting circles--these stories simultaneously hold or cradle the energy of the commons and serve as its center; the heart of the commons.

Mission

To provide a meeting ground to connect cultures within the Inland and Pacific Northwest, through storytelling, arts, education, commerce, and festive events which celebrate the ways we inhabit the landscape.
