Duwamish

Making Lee a Duwamish character was not only an opportunity for creating representation, but it also helped to further ground the stakes for the character, who, in addition to trying to have a baby, is fighting to keep her home.

The “Duwamish are not federally recognized,” says Gladstone, so Lee keeping her house that they share “was an act of resistance.”

Approaching the Duwamish Waterway Park on 10th Avenue South, marchers carried signs, Palestinian flags and white kites.

Talia Braester, one of the event organizers, held a white kite posted on a bamboo-like stick while standing near the Duwamish playground.

The marchers continued to the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center.
