Pay Real Rent to the Duwamish Tribe
The Duwamish do not have just access to the resources of their homelands. In 1855, the Point Elliott Treaty was signed, promising the Duwamish people land, healthcare, education, and fishing rights. In 1977, the Duwamish people filed a petition to force the government to honor their treaty. 46 years later, the Duwamish people are still waiting for justice. We can help today by paying real rent to the tribe.
