On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Muckleshoot families and community members gathered for a heartwarming Grandparents Brunch celebrating the special role grandparents and Elders play in our lives and community. The event brought together multiple generations for a morning filled with delicious food, and meaningful connections. Grandparents enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren, sharing stories and memories that made the gathering truly memorable. Events like the Grandparents Brunch remind us of the importance of honoring our Elders and recognizing the wisdom, guidance, and love they pass on to future generations. Their teachings and support help strengthen family bonds and preserve the values and traditions that enrich our community. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We are grateful for the grandparents and Elders whose dedication, resilience, and care continue to inspire our families every day.

The Muckleshoot Tribal Council, Muckleshoot Intergovernmental Affairs, and our D.C. team were actively engaged since the BBB’s inception in January to ensure that the Tribe’s sovereignty and treaty rights were protected in this process.

Muckleshoot Tribal Council is closely monitoring actions coming from D.C. and listening to the concerns of our people. This month, Muckleshoot Tribal Council sent a delegation to Washington, D.C. to carry your voice to key politicians.

The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe believes in supporting the community – and it puts its resources behind those convictions.

This winter, as it has since before anyone can remember, the sweet smell of alder smoke filtered through the air above our village as the community came together to preserve salmon with the ancient “hard smoke” process.
