Roots and Resilience: An Intergenerational Land Care Day

  • yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us for a rewarding day of community, connection, and conservation at "Roots and Resilience: An Intergenerational Land Care Day," co-hosted by the Common Acre in partnership with yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective. In recognition of Indigenous Peoples Day, we underscore the importance of Native-led land stewardship and creating spaces for BIPOC people to connect, learn, and grow. This event offers an opportunity to give back by helping to care for this beautiful piece of land, which will serve as a community gathering space for our local Indigenous community for generations to come. 

  • The Seattle Fandango Project will be hosting a fandango workshop.  Fandango is an Afro-Indigenous musical and dance tradition originating from Veracruz, Mexico. This vibrant culture blends music, poetry, and percussive dance to create a joyful atmosphere of collective harmony. In this workshop, experienced facilitators will guide participants into this enriching tradition by teaching them how to play jaranas (small eight-string guitars), practice zapateado (percussive footwork), and engage in call-and-response singing. This workshop is open to participants of all ages and skill levels.

  • We are excited to welcome Laila Suidan and Melchor Vendiola. Laila is, a talented Palestinian arborist and landscaper, who will collaborate with Melchor Vendiola who is Swinomish, Paiute and Filipino.They will be supporting with Shameka and Asia from  yəhaw̓ on the creation of a hedgerow and privacy fence. 

  • The Common Acre youth program will have a face painting station for our younger participants.

  • The Common Acre will host a camas and chocolate lily bulb planting workshop, utilizing accessible raised beds constructed by our youth program. Additionally, we will be providing seeds and bulbs, contingent on availability.

Stipend:
Helpers who spend the day with us will receive a $100 stipend for their time.

Accessibility:
Language interpretation services will be available in Spanish and Lingala languages.

Who Can Attend:
This event is exclusively for BIPOC community members. We aim to create a safe and supportive environment where BIPOC individuals can gather, connect, and take advantage of the financial resources available for this occasion. While many of our events are open to the general public, we recognize the importance of occasionally providing a designated safe space specifically for BIPOC participants to foster community and support.

Catering:
Enjoy a delicious meal provided by Liiv Catering, including chicken mole and three sisters stuffed peppers.

Registration Information:
Spaces are limited, so be sure to register soon to secure your spot at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/roots-and-resilience-tickets-995784737957

Creative Residency Presentation with Owen Oliver

Indigenous Creatives Collective hosts artist residencies on the land we caretake in South Seattle. This September, our inaugural artist in residence Owen Oliver (Quinault / Isleta Pueblo) will present his site-responsive project.

Owen comes from the people of the Lower Columbia River, Salish Sea, and Southwest Pueblos of Isleta. He has a bachelor’s in American Indian Studies from the University of Washington and is currently pursuing a MFA in Creative Writing from the Institute of American Indian Arts. Owen will be composing a hybrid essay that amplifies the yəhaw̓ land through Salish & Chinook knowledge systems, wellness, language, and historical context. The essay will hone on the infancy of the plot and the reimagined futures of what kinship with the land looks like in urban Seattle.

Street parking is usually available, and we are near the Rainier Beach light rail station and bus stops. Snacks will be provided. Please email info@yehawshow.com with accessibility questions.

Chief Seattle Club and yəhaw̓ Indigenous Creatives Collective are proud to present the summer exhibition in ʔálʔal Café featuring artwork by Kimberly Saladin (Muckelshoot). As the weather warms, canoers prepare for long journeys across the Salish Sea. Water reminds us where we come from, and where we are going. Paddles up!

About the Artist ✨
Kimberly Saladin (Muckleshoot), a proud member of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, is a self-taught digital artist since 2000. With a deep love for color and texture, Kimberly's journey began in fantasy and portrait art, shared with friends online.

Slowly, her art found its way back to her cultural roots, now prominently featuring Indigenous themes. This shift ignited her career and passion, driving her to create each day with purpose. Inspired by visions and driven by a deep connection to her people, Kimberly's art is a reflection of her true calling.
