We Are
Muckleshoot

Seattle's Host Tribe

True wealth is not what we have, it’s what we share.

This spirit of giving connects us with our ancestors who lived in villages throughout the Seattle region for thousands of years.

Ours is a culture of sharing and providing for our communities, our environment, and the Earth.

Today, we continue to welcome guests to our traditional homeland with hands raised, and hearts open.
