The Aunties is an invitation to come together to honor the women that shape, heal, and uphold Indigenous communities —the aunties—through an evening of contemporary storytelling, shared live from the stage alongside familial and archival photographs, and works of legacy. The Aunties in Seattle is one installment in a series of events across Turtle Island (North America), featuring stories by Indigenous women from the local regions who have dedicated their work to uplifting their communities.

We gather to honor the contributions and enduring legacy of our aunties, whose stories inspire new narratives and guide new generations of leaders. In Seattle, we come together in community to reflect on our collective history to nurture hope for a brighter future.

The Seattle aunties are: Tymryss Xeli’tia Lane (Lummi Nation), Meredith Parker (Makah), and Dr. Charlotte Coté (Nuu-chah-nulth). Directed by Kendra Mylnechuk Potter (Lummi Nation).
