Muckleshoot Youth and teens had the opportunity to learn from Seattle Seahawks cheerleaders during a special dance clinic Monday, Aug. 3, at the Muckleshoot Community Center.
Two Seahawks cheerleaders visited the community to lead participants through a day of dance, movement and fun. A total of 98 Muckleshoot Youth and teens participated, including 61 youth and 37 teens.
Participants were divided into three rotations, with two sessions for youth and one for teens. The clinic welcomed participants of all ages and genders, creating an inclusive environment where everyone was encouraged to get involved, learn and have fun.
The clinic is part of the ongoing partnership between the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the Seattle Seahawks, which continues to create opportunities for Muckleshoot youth to engage with the organization. The first clinic was held in 2022.
Beyond learning new moves, the clinic gave participants an opportunity to be active, build confidence and try something they may not have experienced before alongside their friends and peers.
The Tribe and Seahawks are currently working to update programming for Muckleshoot Youth as the Seahawks enter a new season and students prepare for the upcoming school year.
Through continued opportunities like the cheerleader clinic, the partnership brings experiences directly to Muckleshoot Youth and creates positive ways for young people throughout the community to participate.
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.
