Land Acknowledgement

United Way of King County acknowledges that we work on the unceded, traditional land of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish people, original stewards of the land, past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe. This acknowledgment only becomes meaningful when combined with accountable relationships and informed actions and is a first step in honoring the land we are on and their people.

With the Indigenous Communities Fund, United Way of King County is showing its commitment to Indigenous people by directing funds to groups led by and in support of the Native people of this land.
