Seattle — Pedestrians and visitors will have the opportunity to witness Muckleshoot carvers craft a traditional dugout canoe, thanks to the Tribe's partnership with a new contemporary art center located in the heart of downtown Seattle.
Led by Tribal Members Tyson Simmons and Keith Stevenson, carvers will visit the space periodically to make progress on the cedar canoe. Visitors will see the progression of this centuries-old practice over time, from tree to sea.
