JOIN WHIM W’HIM TODAY, BECOME A REAL RENTER!
Real Rent calls on people who live and work in Seattle to make rent payments to the Duwamish Tribe. Though the city named for the Duwamish leader Chief Seattle thrives, the Tribe has yet to be justly compensated for their land, resources, and livelihood.
You can do something today to stand in solidarity with
First Peoples of this land by paying Real Rent.
All funds go directly to Duwamish Tribal Services (DTS) to support the cultural, economic and political survival of the Duwamish Tribe. Visit the webiste to learn more about this grassroots movement to support Duwamish sovereignty
VISION
Enriching lives by investing in imagination,
illuminating that art exists within each and everyone
