April 23rd - This Mother Earth Day, the Muckleshoot community came together in a powerful way, not just to celebrate the land, but to care for it with intention and hands‑on stewardship.
Volunteers of all ages joined in to clean up community spaces, remove litter, and restore the natural beauty of the land that sustains us. These efforts weren’t just about tidying up; they were about honoring a responsibility that has been carried by the Tribe for generations, strengthening the Tribe’s long tradition of respect for the environment.
Each tree that was planted is a promise to future generations: to protect what protects us.
Elders from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and their loved ones gathered together on Jan 16 at the Elders complex to celebrate the New Year. The gathering was a joyful and welcoming community celebration.
In early January, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe hosted its annual Legislative Reception at T-Mobile Park in the Muckleshoot Diamond Club, welcoming local and regional leaders from King and Pierce counties.
When Laura Rudert talks about leadership, she does not start with titles or credentials. She starts with people. With community. With responsibility to those who come next.
On Jan 10, our community gathered for the Winter Powwow after the event was postponed earlier in the season due to flooding. Coming together again made the day especially meaningful.
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!
