Salmon and Berries
Two of today’s recognized super foods– salmon & berries–were basic Duwamish dietary staples.Before metal pots were introduced, the Duwamish made soups in a tightly woven basket. The soup was boiled by placing hot river rocks in the basket. Salmon soup was a traditional favorite. Berries were collected in season and preserved for later use.The Duwamish Native Food Program is sponsored by the DUWAMISH RIVER OPPORTUNITY FUND (DROF): Seattle Department of Neighborhoods & Culture. Bi…-monthly program, 2nd & 4th Sundays, February-July.
Currently in the Duwamish Art Gallery– Roger Fernandes: Proof of Spirit. New works by master Salish artist & storyteller reflect on local native culture & beliefs.
Roger Fernandes is a Native American artist whose work reflects the culture and beliefs of the Puget Salish tribes of the Pacific Northwest Coast. A member of the Lower Elwha S’Klallam Tribe, he was born and raised in Seattle and studied art at the University of Washington.
