AN ANCIENT PEOPLE

​

Assyrians are an indigenous ethnic group native to Mesopotamia, located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern day Iraq—the Cradle of  Civilization. Our ancestry dates back to the Bronze Age, with a rich history intertwined

with the Sumerians and Babylonians, chronicled in ancient stone inscriptions.

 

Through millennia, we are still here, living beside you in the modern age despite persecution, cultural erasure, and ethnic cleansing in our homeland. We preserve our culture by celebrating our family, our history, and our food—bringing a taste of the Ancient Near East to the Pacific Northwest
