On March 8, visitors experienced a rich blend of cultural sharing and environmental learning. As Seattle’s Host Tribe, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe co-hosted a reflection of their partnership with the Seattle Aquarium. This fun-filled event offered insights into their traditions, history, and ongoing stewardship of local ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of collaborative conservation efforts rooted in both science and Indigenous knowledge to ensure healthy waters for generations to come.
The event featured a variety of interactive and family friendly experiences, including storytelling, career panel, cultural panel, cultural demonstrations, a scavenger hunt and a Fish War Documentary screening, honoring the Tribe’s heritage and connection to the Salish Sea. The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe provided free admission, along with additional reduced cost access for attendees. This support removed financial barriers and ensured that families, elders, and community members could fully participate in the day’s programming. The result was a warm, intergenerational gathering that reflected the Tribe’s commitment to inclusion and shared learning.
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.
Reflections of ancient weaving traditions are visible on Seattle’s pro soccer pitch in the form of the Seattle Sounders FC's new uniforms this year.
