theater off, Jackson acknowledges that we are operating on the ancestral lands of the Duwamish people who are the original stewards of this land and continue to live here today. We honor the work of indigenous artists in our community and understand how important indigenous art is to the future of this land. The Duwamish people have an oral history that stretches back to the last ice age.
