Muckleshoot — Miss Indian World made a special visit to the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe on Nov. 7, beginning her afternoon at the Tribe’s annual Tree Lighting Ceremony. She walked through the event and greeted families as they enjoyed the decorated department trees, food trucks, carolers, and festive activities. Her presence added an extra layer of excitement to the celebration as she met community members and took photos with those in attendance.
After visiting the Tree Lighting, she made her way to the Muckleshoot Community Center for a dedicated meet-and-greet. Families gathered to welcome her and share in the cultural pride she brings to every community she visits.
Earlier that morning, Miss Indian World spent time touring several local schools, where she connected with students, staff, and youth programs. When asked about her time with the Muckleshoot Tribe, she shared:
“The experience has been amazing. Everyone has been so kind and respectful, and I got to visit so many schools in the area. All the youth are very good listeners, very engaged, and it’s just been a really fun time.”
