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.
