Rutheo Designs acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish and Duwamish tribes, who have stewarded these ecosystems since time immemorial. We could not call this city home without the Duwamish Tribe.
We aim to honor the original caretakers of this land by preserving and restoring the natural ecosystem we live in, and educating others about the role indigenous communities have played in land stewardship since time immemorial. Using native and edible plants, minimizing our carbon footprint, and paying Real Rent to the Duwamish Tribal Nation are all ways we uphold our commitment.
Real Rent Duwamish is a non-profit that commits to just compensation to Indigenous people for the continued use and occupation of their native lands. All funds go directly to Duwamish Tribal Services. Visit their site below.
