Join the hosts of the Invisible Histories podcast, Elke Hautala and Cari Simson, for an interactive presentation bordering on performance. Experience the challenges and mysteries of what happened to the 3,260 people buried at the Duwamish Cemetery (aka Seattle’s Potter’s Field) when it was erased in 1912 for the dredging and straightening of the Duwamish River. Learn about this untold history from South Seattle while engaging with the themes of industrial growth, marginalized perspectives and collective memory.
This History Café is produced as a partnership between HistoryLink, Invisible Histories, and MOHAI.
ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the program. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, email programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.
Grab some food for thought–Gourmondo at MOHAI remains open until 7pm for every History Café.
If you can’t make it to the museum, tune in live on the MOHAI YouTube channel to virtually attend this event.
