Hiyu Sunset Cruise: What a Beautiful Evening on the Water!

Written by Shayna Brown,
Photos by Katie Manzanares & Shayna Brown

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!
