John Halliday shares his personal story and presents Washington State history from a Native American perspective. He is an artist of Muckleshoot, Duwamish, Yakama, and Warm Springs Indian descent.

At the age of 55, John Halliday became legally blind. His Native American world view, cultural traditions, and values, which have sustained Native tribes throughout history, long before colonization, have helped him overcome the challenges associated with losing his sight. 

Halliday recently retired from the Bureau of Indian Affairs as Deputy Regional Director for the Navajo Region after serving as CEO for both the Muckleshoot and Snoqualmie tribes. Halliday has shown his art at Lakewold Gardens, ANT Gallery, and the Sacred Circle Galleries of American Indian Art under the artist name "Coyote".
