This September, students, staff, and community members gathered to witness the official unveiling of the Lucy Gerand mural at Chautauqua Elementary School in the Vashon Island School District. The mural, designed by Daniel Baptista and installed by Anthony Duenas, both Puyallup Tribal Members, stands 16 feet tall and is featured in the school’s playground area. Lucy Gerand, prominently depicted in the center, is accompanied by stylized clams and ducks, symbolizing her history and connection to the land.
