One at a time village - get land
Purchase land - ancestral land King Co. This project would serve 80% Duwamish/ 20% BIPOC. The City would partner in phases, not all at once. Bad way - someone else picks the land.

The Duwamish people managed our land by respecting it and the animals that inhabited it. The Tribe should be afforded the opportunity to acquire land where our ancestral villages once stood. In this way we can ensure that we have access to our previous place names and manage them according to our traditional ways.
