Our Causes
Pay Rent to the Duwamish Tribe
Support Duwamish Tribal Services through Monthly Giving
Paying monthly rent acts to uplift the Duwamish Tribe as First Peoples of Seattle in the face of the U.S. government refusing to honor the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855. Descendants of European settler families continue to benefit greatly from the resources of the land incorporating the city we know as Seattle. Those of us who are not from the tribes of these lands might benefit in different ways from being here, whether we live, work, or visit this beautiful place. As guests to this land, we can create a story of equity and action instead of being complicit in dishonoring the treaties.

Donate to Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag
The Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag are the descendants of the Neponset band of the Massachusett. At the time of the English invasion of their territory early in the 17th century they were led by the Great Sac’hem, Chickataubut. Theirs is the indigenous nation from which the present day Commonwealth of Massachusetts took its name. They continue as the Massachusett Tribe at Ponkapoag.
