The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe has partnered with Cannonball Arts in Seattle to showcase one of our oldest traditions in our ancestral homeland. With hand made tools, ancient know-how, and hard work, Muckleshoot carvers are helping to educate the region about our culture and history.

You can observe the carvers' work in the lobby of Cannonball Arts in Downtown Seattle until it's completion in late 2026.
