The Duwamish Tribe appreciates the support and respect of the many and increasing thousands of supporters, allies, leaders, organizations, and governmental entities who stand with the Duwamish. The Seattle Times Editorial Board spoke truth to power when they endorsed Duwamish recognition this year:

“The Duwamish have survived against all odds. A century of legal and extralegal violence forced them to leave ancestral lands. Because they had no reservation, many Duwamish dispersed. Yet a vibrant and cohesive Duwamish culture remains a durable thread in the fabric of Seattle’s life. That alone should be enough to merit federal recognition.”

To support the Tribe’s efforts, please keep sharing the petition in your network. If your organization, company, religious group or labor union is willing to show its support, they can fill in the form at https://www.standwiththeduwamish.org/read-me
