Dungeness MassacreBy Kathy Duncan
The Dungeness Massacre took place September 21, 1868 on the Dungeness Spit. This was six (6) years before the founding of the Jamestown S'Klallam Tribal community. Attacks would take place just before dawn, as Northwest Coast Native Peoples believed this was the time when a person is sleeping the soundest. Those involved lived at Dungeness, Sequim (Washington Harbor) and Discovery Bay. The arm of the Dungeness Spit that is called Dead Mans Spit, has nothing to do with the Dungeness Massacre nor is this the area that the massacre happened.
