The Spokane People
Our neighborhood exists on the ancestral lands of the Spokane Tribe: The Children of the Sun. In all that we do as a community we seek to honor our Native American relatives, who’s ancestral lands we are guests of.
We aim to love the West Central in daily, organic ways. We also mobilize to intentionally bless the neighborhood with a monthly effort.
