Our first HIYU Sunset Cruise test run on June 14th, 2026 was a success! Our MIT ‘crew’ got a sneak peek at what’s in store for our upcoming events, and the views did not disappoint.
The HIYU initiative provides a meaningful opportunity to strengthen the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe’s presence within the Seattle area, part of the tribe’s usual and accustomed territory. By increasing visibility, HIYU advances our mission to educate the broader community about our people, our history, and the lasting contributions we make to the region.
Check out some photos from the evening and keep an eye out for future HIYU events as we’d love to see you on board for the next adventure!

After four consecutive elections where all three incumbents were sent back for another term, the Muckleshoot Tribal Council now has a new member. He is Leeroy Courville Jr.,who is proudly following in the footsteps his late father.
The Muckleshoot Messenger is a monthly Tribal publication. Tribal community members and Tribal employees are welcome to submit items to the newspaper such as announcements, birth news, birthday shoutouts, community highlights, and more. We want to hear from you!
