  • Summary

  • The artists, musicians, and water protectors of South Seattle challenge flawed concepts of environmentalism by showing us that water is not a resource; but a sacred force that is inseparable from what it means to be a human being. Protecting our rivers and upholding water sovereignty is always a cultural and relational act - one that is a co-creation between the humans and the waters themselves. The Duwamish River invites us to take this journey back to ourselves. --- Learn more about Food Culture Collective @ https://foodculture.org and HEAL Food Alliance @ https://healfoodalliance.org Take action with HEAL on the U.S. Farm Bill: https://healfoodalliance.org/farmbill/ --- Simon Wolf, poet Website: https://www.simonwolf.xyz/ Music for Simon’s poetry by Sendai Mike Arturo Rodriguez, musician Website and Classes: https://arturorodriguez.com/ Stay in touch: https://www.facebook.com/RodriguezReneArturo Rainier Valley Water Resiliency Course: https://blackstarfarmers.org/waterresiliency Dynamic Waters: https://www.dynamicwaters.net/ Support the Duwamish River Community Coalition’s (DRCC) Environmental & Health Justice work: https://www.drcc.org/donate Stay connected with Shephali at shephali.earth Story Elements The Duwamish and Coast Salish peoples https://www.duwamishtribe.org/history https://www.burkemuseum.org/collections-and-research/culture/contemporary-culture/coast-salish-art/coast-salish-people The Waterlines Project identifies landscape and water entities in the Lushootseed language – and illustrates how Seattle is one of the most dramatically engineered cities in the U.S. Waterlines Map: https://www.burkemuseum.org/static/waterlines/project_map.html Cedar River Watershed Map: https://your.kingcounty.gov/dnrp/library/water-and-land/watersheds/cedar-river-lake-wa/watershed-map.pdf Introduction to Watershed Terminology The Superfund Status of the Duwamish River: https://www.drcc.org/what-is-superfund Duwamish River History & Photographs: https://www.drcc.org/river-history-and-photographs Recommended Reading and Listening List inspired by Simon, Arturo, Allie, and Orian: Listen to James Rasmussen, Duwamish Tribe and Founder of the DRCC The River that Made Seattle by BJ Cummings Haboo: Native American Stories from Puget Sound by Vi Hilbert One River, a Thousand Voices by Claudia Castro Luna When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through by Joy Harjo Occasional Objects by Simon Wolf and Cedar Sigo Learn Conga Drum technique from Arturo Rodriguez Watch Simon Wolf’s Place Based Poetics series Listen to drums played by rain at the Cedar River Watershed Education Center
