"The Muckleshoot Tribal Council has made voting a huge priority this fall because this is a big, very important, voting cycle. All elections are important for us, but Presidential year elections are of particular importance because the President has such an outsized impact on the leadership and policies of agencies like the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
"Remember, voting is a treaty right we (Natives) didn’t always have, so it’s important to exercise that hard won right."
"And it’s important to vote for candidates who believe in uplifting and supporting our Tribal nations’ sovereignty.
Tribal communities carry a wealth of Traditional Ecological Knowledge, by voting for candidates who support us we can then build relationships to educate and collaborate on local, state and federal government projects related to fishing and wildlife conservation, land/forest management, etc.
"So I encourage you to do your research and above all, get out there and vote!"
