Where is Agate Point?
Agate Point is the name of the northern tip of Bainbridge Island, Washington and is where Agate Point Consulting LLC calls home.
The passage was named for Alfred Thomas Agate in 1841. He was the designated portrait and botanical artist on the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-1843. His detailed illustrations of indigenous peoples still provide insights into the cultures of pacific islanders and first nations of the US pacific coast.
As stated by the Suquamish Tribe:
“This land is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People
of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe
builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the
lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they
have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the
land and waters of their ancestors for future generations as
promised by the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855.”
