Thanks to Clay Eals from the Southwest Seattle Historical Society for the photo from Neighborhood House’s High Point Center, where more than 100 people came to tonight’s screening of “Princess Angeline,” and talked with filmmakers Sandy and Yasu Osawa. He explains: “The 53-minute film focuses on the history of the Duwamish Tribe and its efforts to become federally recognized. Princess Angeline was the daughter of Chief Seattle. Sponsoring the presentation were West Seattle Meaningful Movies and the Southwest Seattle Historical Society. Those attending were encouraged to inscribe pre-addressed postcards to President Obama asking that the tribe be recognized.” The latest version of the recognition bill is languishing in the U.S. House.
