Seattle's Mayflower (Part 2 of 2)
Today we mark 174 years since the Denny Party landed at #Alki, The land’s beauty came from generations of care by the Duwamish. Settlers survived only with Duwamish support, then pushed them out. As we enter November, reflect on this history and seek ways to honor the #Duwamish community today.

From 2021–2025, whilst(!) my studio was open, I gave $54/month to @realrentduwamish.bsky.social, totaling $2,484. 100% supports Duwamish Tribal Services and the Duwamish Longhouse. As I close this chapter, I’m grateful: small, steady contributions do add up.

We may be in popup mode, but that won’t prevent us from paying Real Rent to the Duwamish Tribe. We'll continue to pay annually in solidarity with the First Peoples of this land. @realrentduwamish.bsky.social #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Today marks the 170th anniversary of the signing of the #TreatyofPointElliott in 1855, and still the United States government has yet to honor their promises by federally recognizing the #Duwamish Tribe. Chief Si'ahl (Seattle) is the first signature on the #PointElliottTreaty.
