    Amber Cantu, Descendant of Chief Seattle: Treaties, Trauma & Traditional Medicine

    We started this project sitting down with Amber Cantu in Mukilteo, Washington — the place where the Point Elliott Treaty was signed. As a descendant of Chief Seattle and an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of Colville, Amber shares what that legacy really means today. From treaties signed for survival, to the harms of blood quantum and ongoing erasure, to her own journey through foster care, adopting nine of her 12 children, and returning to traditional Native medicine, this conversation is about trauma, identity, and healing across generations. 👉 Watch the full episode, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and let us know your thoughts in the comments. 🌐 Find more conversations and stories at: https://salembusinessjournal.org/category/local-events/business-news/
