In the basement of the International District Clinic, there are probably a few pests, but they are undoubtedly outnumbered by the plastic spiders surrounding Marty Schafer’s desk. A desktop support specialist in Seattle Indian Health Board’s IT department, Marty (Cree) spends a lot of time detangling the web of devices that connect our staff and squashing the bugs they catch.
Relative to Relative: Layla Yamabe (Quinault/Quileute/Squaxin)
Around 8:00 a.m. or 4:00 p.m., you might smell the cedar or sweetgrass or sage that Layla Yamabe (Quinault/Quileute/Squaxin) is holding before you even see her approaching.
As one of Seattle Indian Health Board’s Traditional Indian Medicine Apprentices, Layla helps complete the twice daily smudging of our entire building and those who work inside it.
