Welcome to the Peninsula College Longhouse.

ʔaʔk̓ʷustəƞáwt̓xʷ  House of Learning, Peninsula College Longhouse is the first longhouse in the nation built on a community college campus.  The vision of the Longhouse to be a center for cultural expression and educational achievement for all students and community members was woven together by Peninsula College and six Sovereign Nations: Hoh, Quileute, Makah, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Jamestown S’Klallam, and Lower Elwha Klallam.
Opening its doors in 2007, the Longhouse:

• Serves as a cultural and educational resource for understanding, honoring, and sharing our cultural heritages.
• Creates a special place to gather and learn for cultural ceremonies, community events, classes, workshops, study groups, and individual study.
• Builds bridges of understanding and knowledge and provides a welcoming environment for all students, college staff, and community.
