Seattle — On Dec. 16 Muckleshoot Indian Tribe hosted Indigenous Peoples’ Night with the Seattle Kraken at the Climate Pledge Arena. It was a reminder that Native peoples are still here.
Members representing the Muckleshoot Canoe Family opened the night with song, welcoming fans and setting the tone for the evening. The opening reflected the continued presence of Indigenous culture and community in this region.
The night was part of Muckleshoot’s ongoing partnership with the Seattle Kraken, which has created space for Indigenous visibility and representation in professional sports. Hosting Indigenous Peoples’ Night continues that work and strengthens the relationship between the Tribe and the organization.
For Muckleshoot, hosting the night meant showing up in a public space and being visible. It was an opportunity to acknowledge the Tribe’s connection to this place and to remind the broader community that Native people remain present today.
The event brought Indigenous presence into Climate Pledge Arena in a visible and meaningful way.
