Emigh, Chair This study uses narrative analysis to examine how racial, ethnic, and national schemas were mobilized by social actors to categorize Duwamish identity from the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. In so doing, it evaluates how the classificatory schemas of non- indigenous actors, particularly the state, resembled or diverged from Duwamish self- understandings and the relationship between these classificatory schemes and the configuration of political power in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. The earliest classificatory schema applied to the Duwamish consisted of a racial category “Indian” attached to an ethno- national category of “tribe,” which was honed during the treaty period. After the “Indian wars” of 1855-56, this ethno-national orientation was supplanted by a highly racialized schema aimed at the political exclusion of “Indians”. By the twentieth century, however, formalized racialized exclusion was replaced by a racialized ethno-national schema by which tribal membership was defined using a racial logic of blood purity. -

The project will also widen the State Route (SR) 520 corridor to six lanes from I-5 7 in Seattle to Evergreen Point Road in Medina, and will restripe and reconfigure the lanes in the 8 corridor from Evergreen Point Road to 92nd Avenue NE in Yarrow Point. The project will 9 complete the regional HOV lane system across SR 520, as called for in regional and local 10 transportation plans. 11 The SR 520, I-5 to Medina: Bridge Replacement and HOV Project (SR 520, I-5 to Medina 12 Project) extends approximately 5.2 miles, from the interchange at I-5 in Seattle eastward to 13 Evergreen Point Road in Medina, on the east side of Lake Washington. -

Indigenous People and the Transformation of Seattle's
05-C3737 1/19/06 11:43 AM Page 89 City of the Changers: Indigenous People and the Transformation of Seattle’s Watersheds COLL THRUSH The author is a member of the history department at the University of British Columbia. Between the 1880s and the 1930s indigenous people continued to eke out traditional livings along the waterways and shorelines of Seattle’s urbanizing and industrializing landscape. During those same years, however, the city’s civic leaders and urban plan- ners oversaw massive transformations of that landscape, including the creation of a ship canal linking Puget Sound with Lake Washington and the straightening of the Duwamish River. These transformations typified the modernizing ethos that sought to improve nature to ameliorate or even end social conflict. The struggle of the Duwamish and other local indigenous people to survive urban change, as well as the efforts by residents of nearby Indian reservations to maintain connections to places within the city, illustrate the complex, ironic legacies of Seattle’s environmental his- tory. They also show the ways in which urban and Native history are linked through both material and discursive practices. Seattle was a bad place to build a city. Steep sand slopes crumbled atop slippery clay; a river wound through its wide, marshy estuary and bled out onto expansive tidal flats; kettle lakes and cranberried peat bogs recalled the retreat of the great ice sheets; unpredictable creeks plunged into deep ravines—all among seven (or, depending on whom you ask, nine or fifteen) hills sandwiched between the vast, deep waters of Puget Sound and of Lake Wash- ington. -

Impacts of Habitat Restorationand the Status of Avian Communities
Impacts of Habitat Restoration and the Status of Avian Communities in Seattle City Parks CJ Battey • Toby Ross © TOM SANDERS © DOUG SCHURMAN © TIM BOYER Anna’s Hummingbird Lesser Scaup © DOUG SCHURMAN © DOUG SCHURMAN Yellow Warbler Yellow Heermann’s Gull Bottom left: A volunteer engaged in the Neighborhood Bird Project at Magnuson Park counts gulls and waterfowl on a platform in Lake Washington. BACKGROUND The Neighborhood Bird Project (NBP) is a citizen science initiative that began in 1994, conceived, developed and managed by the Seattle Audubon Society. The NBP has two main goals; the first to monitor trends in avian abundance in Seattle City parks and green spaces. The second aims to empower citizens in becoming advocates for birds and wildlife habitat in their neighborhoods and communities. Monthly surveys are conducted by teams of volunteer bird watchers who conduct surveys at eight King County parks and green spaces – Carkeek Park, Golden Gardens Park, Discovery Park, Seward Park, Genesee Park, Washington Park Arboretum, Magnuson Park and Lake Forest Park. The data from these surveys provide an insight into the avian diversity and abundance in urban areas and affords an appreciation of the diversity that can be found in cities given appropriate quality habitat. Introduction City parks present a unique opportunity for public communities, the Seattle Audubon Society started the engagement with nature, as well as providing habitat Neighborhood Bird Project (NBP) in 1994, with a series of for wildlife and ecosystem services for millions of urban volunteer-led surveys in Carkeek Park. Surveys have since residents. Within the urban core of Seattle, city parks have expanded to seven other sites, and today are conducted been the focus of many habitat restoration projects to once a month, year-round, at each of over 200 survey points improve habitat quality and restore degraded lands – efforts distributed in natural or restored habitats in the Seattle area.
