Food insecurity continues to impact many families across King County and ensuring people are fed has always been a shared responsibility.
At this year’s Home Team Harvest event hosted by Northwest Harvest, the Muckleshoot Tribe contributed $50,000 to support hunger relief efforts across the region. Councilmembers Virginia Cross and Anita Mitchell attended the event on behalf of the Tribe.
Muckleshoot has partnered with Northwest Harvest for nearly 25 years supporting efforts to address hunger and food access for families throughout King County. The tribe also contributes to food banks and hunger relief programs throughout the year recognizing that access to food is foundational to health dignity and community wellbeing.
As Seattle’s Host Tribe Muckleshoot continues to step forward in caring for people beyond their own community. The $50,000 donation reflects both a long standing partnership and an ongoing commitment to taking care of people today and for future generations.
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.
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.
The Muckleshoot Messenger is a monthly Tribal publication. Tribal community members and Tribal employees are welcome to submit items to the newspaper such as announcements, birth news, birthday shoutouts, community highlights, and more. We want to hear from you!
