Seattle has been gentrified by the Tech Businesses. A lot of the working class roots of this town have been painted over. The homeless of Seattle were created by the destruction of low income housing, and single resident rooming houses to make way for $2k a month apartments.

I am So looking forward to this documentary. Ty. I’m a NE native, and visited the NW. My experiences during the month is spent in Seattle, exploring the city, viewing native art and taking in the new but deeply familiar topography. I had what some would call an out of body experience, that friends tell me made me invisible to the eye while in the same room. It’s not a stretch to tell you that I wasn’t as surprised by that report as a person commonly would be. While I was having the experience, the only thought that connecting me to that present time was the hopes someone would not disturb me physically and cause a premature end. The experience was deeply rooted within me and was remembered while studying some native art. Luckily, something, whatever, prevented that from happening. Can’t wait to deeper dive the area, as well as return. ❤

More recently, as a full-fledged adult I have attended pow wows, events at Daybreak Star, and the indigenous food symposium at the UW Intellectual House. I am doing my best to educate myself on the true history of the land on which I live, and it feels good to know the truth and stand in solidarity with the indigenous peoples of the world.

There's a book "Totem Tales of Old Seattle" where the author relates some stories of Chief Seattle, including where he "put down" a medicine man who was killing a lot of his patients via his incompetence and where he planned and executed an ambush on a Muckleshoot raiding party that had come to prey on the Duwamish. There was also a story about a speech he gave where he shared the stage with a (governor? mayor? I can't recall) some important government guy and due to the height difference the Chief kept resting his hand on the head of the government guy while he spoke, like he was the podium.

You have helped to educate me. I am from Northern Indiana where there are very many Amish and I have Amish ancestors, so when I heard you keep saying the word: "Duwamish" I kept mostly just hearing the word "Amish" so I had to stop your video and look up the word "Duwamish". And then I came back to this video. I have never heard of this tribe, but you have done a great job of telling the history. I like your style. My Indengious-American tribes are from out here in the east, but my heart still sympathizes with other tribes and the horrible genocide and extreme abuses they received. I live in Miami Chief Little Turtle's area where he and Shawnee Chief Tecumseh worked together to fight off the stealing of their lands. It is sickening to understand that this crap against the Indegeneous peoples of this country all had to go through this stuff. Within my blood flows the people on both sides like millions of other Americans. Those Duwamish women that got put into working in cat-houses, that is so sad that their culture became so annihilated that they had to do that for money to survive. I am so sorry, so very sorry that the Duwamish and all the other Indegeneous people had to endure such abuse and extreme disrespect. 💔

Well researched! Portlander, but went to 5th and 6th grades in Georgetown (always a working class neighborhood). I learned a lot about the early history of Seattle from this. I don't remember much local history in grade school at the time there. Family heritage on my mother's mother's side includes field work on the farms around Snohomish and north by my aunts and uncles and cousins during the 1930s. The governments official recognition policy is horrendous. It ends up pitting tribe against tribe. Witness also the issues of the Chinooks on the lower Columbia. They helped our white asses (pardon the expression) arrive and assume unceded land all up and down the lower Columbia. But due to an unsigned treaty and no reservation they officially do not exist. I have a cousin who married one, so seems to me they exist. Their struggle also continues. Keep up the great work on these.

It is the name given to multiple nations whose historic villages were located along lake Washington (x̌ačuʔ "lake Washington" + =abš "people of"). They were the dəxʷx̌ʷubilabš, sluʔwiɬabš, šabalʔtxʷabš, saʔcaqaɬəbš, and sc̓ababš. Also were the stəqabš, once a powerful group who contributed many leaders to the contemporary Duwamish (Seattle's mother was of this village) Other than that, excellent video!
