The participation in cultural practices indicator describes Puget Sound residents’ satisfaction in regards to their participation in cultural practices. “Cultural practices” addresses a range of practices linked to the natural environment, including recreational, civic, and social activities, as well as tribal cultural practices related to natural resources.
Respondents were asked to rank their satisfaction levels in regard to their participation in four categories of cultural activities or traditions using a scale of 'Dissatisfied' (1) to 'Satisfied' (5) or 'I do not engage in this activity or tradition'.
