We at Seattle Asian American Film Festival would like to acknowledge that we occupy and reside on the unceded traditional lands of Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish tribe. Since time immemorial, this land has been stewarded by the Duwamish and we honor their people past and present, and the land in which we gather.

It is our obligation to stand in solidarity with the Duwamish. Promises made in the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliot between the United States government and the Duwamish tribe remain unfulfilled, and they are still fighting for federal recognition.

We resist the erasure of Indigenous histories and work towards honoring and inviting truth into this space, and encourage our audiences to learn about and acknowledge whose land they reside on. If you want to learn more about the Duwamish tribe, how to support them, or pay rent, you can visit realrentduwamish.org.

As we work towards creating visibility for Asian American communities, SAAFF is committed to dismantling ongoing legacies of settler colonialism, imperialism, and other systems of oppression that affect us all. Never again is now. From Congo and Sudan to Palestine, the Kingdom of Hawai’i to Guam, none of us are free until we are all free. Asian American liberation can only be achieved if we work towards collective liberation together.

Seattle Asian American Film Festival (SAAFF) is fiscally sponsored by Shunpike.
