Spirit Returns 2.0

Description

Spirit Returns 2.0, a Duwamish and Settler Story, celebrates two decades of growth and progress. Collectively we explore the authentic stories of the complex relationships of trade, managed and natural resources, social hierarchy, and the growing relationships between the Duwamish and  settlers who arrived in the 1850’s and together melded and transitioned into the Seattle we know today. 

The revival exhibit “Spirit Returns 2.0”   is a testimony or sw?l?x? (perseverance) that shares the living lifeways of the Duwamish people within the space that was reclaimed in 2009 with the completion of the Duwamish Longhouse and Museum, and the return of the cedar bark hat belonging to Chief Seattle of the Duwamish and Suquamish Tribes. This new exhibit will be the foundation for school  curriculum that will help strengthen the Duwamish sense belonging, autonomy and continuity.
