St. Mark's Cathedral
1245 10th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102
Join Se'Si'Le in partnership with Tribal, environmental, and faith-based organizations for an event amplifying Indigenous women's leadership — leaders whose approaches emphasize relational responsibility, ecosystem restoration, collective action, and long-term stewardship.
This gathering at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle is part of a nationwide series of events that will showcase the wisdom of seven Indigenous women whose work addresses the intersecting crises of biodiversity loss, climate disruption, and environmental injustice.
By centering Indigenous ways of knowing, the Seven Sisters campaign advances solutions grounded in accountability, resilience, and care for future generations. Participants will be invited to rethink their relationship with nature, with one another, and with the responsibilities we share.
The event will feature the voices of seven Indigenous Women and two Witnesses:
