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.

The Muckleshoot Tribal Council, Muckleshoot Intergovernmental Affairs, and our D.C. team were actively engaged since the BBB’s inception in January to ensure that the Tribe’s sovereignty and treaty rights were protected in this process.
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.
