Each Meal kit is $129, feeds 4, comes decorated with traditional Duwamish art motifs, fresh cedar, and includes a Thanksgiving blessing. The Giving Thanks Feast dinners are offered and prepared by the Duwamish people with the support of FoodCircle, a non-profit organization, are available as traditional or vegetarian, and will include the following:

TRADITIONAL OPTION:

  • Wild Salmon Clam Chowder
  • Fresh Kale, Fiddle Ferns, Sea Vegetable Salad with Salal Berry Dressing

Meals can be picked up at the Duwamish Longhouse () to experience more of the Duwamish history, as well as meet community members. Most of the proceeds from this event will support the Duwamish Tribe, and for every meal kit sold, one meal will be donated to a community member in need. Place your order online ASAP because the Duwamish Giving Thanks meals sell out quickly!

The Duwamish Tribe is the host tribe for Seattle, our area’s only indigenous tribe. Many of their enrolled members still live on Duwamish aboriginal territory, which includes Seattle, Burien, Tukwila, Renton, and Redmond.
