The 2026 Skopabsh Powwow was filled with good energy, good relatives, and good songs. Thank you to every dancer, singer, vendor, family, and visitor who came out and helped make this year’s gathering strong. Your presence keeps our circle growing, and we’re grateful for the spirit you continue to bring to the Muckleshoot community.
We also want to honor and congratulate our newly crowned 2026 Skopabsh Powwow Royalty. Some are returning leaders, and some are stepping into these roles for the first time, but all of them carry our community forward with pride.
And we lift up our outgoing 2025 royalty for their dedication and leadership throughout the year. Thank you for representing Skopabsh with heart.
Thank you again to everyone who joined us and to those who participated. We look forward to another year of carrying these teachings, celebrating our youth, and keeping our traditions strong.
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.
Reflections of ancient weaving traditions are visible on Seattle’s pro soccer pitch in the form of the Seattle Sounders FC's new uniforms this year.
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!
