Traditionally potlatches were winter season gift-giving feasts. The warmer months were for procuring food and wealth for the family and village, then coming home and sharing with neighbors and friends.

The Duwamish Native Food Program is sponsored by the DUWAMISH RIVER OPPORTUNITY FUND (DROF): Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and 4Culture.  The program is bi-monthly on the 2nd and 4th Sundays through July.

WHEN:  Sun., April 26, 2015, 1-4pm.  Doors open at noon.
