  • In 1970, Native Americans took a stand at Seattle’s Fort Lawton to secure a land base for urban Native culture. This episode of Unsettled Territory follows the story of how members of the United Indians of All Tribes Federation (UIATF) arrived at the Fort with a proclamation as the land was being decommissioned as a military base: “We, the native Americans, reclaim the land known as Fort Lawton in the name of all American Indians by right of discovery.” Nearly half a century later, Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center remains the headquarters of the UIATF, providing the Native American community with a wide range of social and community services while welcoming people of all backgrounds to visit and learn.
    Unsettled Territory celebrates the often untold, yet evocative, moments that have helped to shape Seattle’s cultural heritage. We invite you to come and explore. #UnsettledTerritory

      I would love to, but I'm not working (Madison Wisconsin) living in my vehicle and have a broken knee.
      I pray you do well.
      Maybe I'll be well eventually to come out then. I love Seattle and the whole NW.
      I pray the salmon grow and return. I'm glad some dams are being removed.

      @user-xk1ff4gp7k The lands were taken from them. IF THEY DIDN'T GIVE IT UP THEY WERE KILLED. DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU LEARNED YOUR HISTORY. BUT GOVERMENTS ALWAYS HAVE A WAY OF CHANGING TRUE HISTORY. MY GRANDMOTHER WAS FULL BLOOD AMERICAN INDIAN.MOST LIVED IN FINE LARGE HOMES UNTILL THEY WERE PUT OUT OF THEM. THATS WHEN THE AMERICAN INDIANSMADE TENTS, TEPEES FROM ANIMAL'S SKINS TO LIVE IN. FROM THERE THE GOVERMENTS WANTED MORE AND MORE OF THEIR LANDS,SO THEY WERE PUT ON RESEVERTATIONS. DON'T THINK THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN IN THIS DAY AND TIME, LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW,YOU OR ANY RACE OF PEOPLES COULD BE REPLACED IF THE GOVERMENTS WANTED TO DO SO!!!

      @@ShawnW-y7i you surely don't know the true history. Don't think that what the government did to the Native American peoples couldn't happen to any race of peoples. True history is never taught.

    My brother-in-law was stationed at Fort Lawton in the early '70s. I'm so glad to see the property finally back to its original ownership
