Hundreds of dancers, singers, families, and visitors gathered at the Muckleshoot Community Center for the annual Winter Powwow – an event that showcased the strength and beauty of many Tribal nations coming together.
The competition brought dancers of all ages, from tiny tots to Elders, each displaying their dancing. The powwow drew participants from across Indian Country, with some traveling long distances to dance, sing, and reconnect with community.
Vendors filled the community center with beadwork, clothing, and traditional foods, offering families a place to shop and visit. The Powwow Committee helped ensure everything ran smoothly, reflecting the Tribe’s long standing commitment to hosting tribes for an inclusive cultural gathering.
The Winter Powwow stood as a powerful reminder of our living culture as an opportunity to honor tradition through song, dance, and community.
