Today the Duwamish Tribe celebrated the return of 3.5 acres of ancestral land along with several hundred of our allies. It was a good day. Thank you to the many many folks who made today’s celebration possible. We will share photos from today’s event in the coming days.

The short documentary, We Are Still Here, sheds light on the Duwamish Tribe's enduring fight for federal recognition.
Despite being the first people of Seattle and signatories of the
1855 Treaty of Point Elliott, the Duwamish have spent decades battling for the rights promised to them. Directed by Tommie Lorene with support from the University of Arizona Native Pathways Haury Graduate Research Grant, this film
captures the resilience of a tribe that refuses to be erased, showcasing their cultural strength and ongoing activism.
