Alki Birthplace of Seattle (1997)
This half-hour film coincided with the opening of the Log House Museum in West Seattle in 1997. For the first time, the story of the pioneers was told alongside the stories of Duwamish people during the mid-1850s. Historian David Buerge, pioneer descendant Brewster Denny, and Duwamish tribal member James Rasmussen share their perspectives.
