A Celebration of Longfellow Creek at Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural CenterOnce a mighty salmon-spawning stream known by Coast Salish People of the region as t?awi, Longfellow Creek has a storied past. The people and this creek have been in a close relationship for many thousands of years, from when salmon first chose to make their home here, through intense urbanization in the late 19th and 20th centuries, to today – where this creek and its people are beginning to tell a renewed story – one of hope.
Join SWSHS, Duwamish Alive Coalition and Delridge Neighborhoods Development Association for a panel discussion on Wednesday, November 8. This panel will bring together researchers, advocates, and others to learn about the history of Longfellow Creek, contemporary research, and how community organizers are advocating for its protection.
