The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe believes in supporting the community – and it puts its resources behind those convictions.

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.

Tribal Council is actively engaged on the recent actions from D.C. and will continue asserting our treaty rights and trust obligations with our federal partners to ensure that Muckleshoot’s voice is heard.
