We lived in harmony with our mother earth since time began. Sustained by the plentiful forests and rivers from the Cascade Mountains to the Salish Sea.
Until colonization threatened our way of life. Our ancestors had to fight for their rights to continue fishing, hunting and gathering where they had for thousands of years.
Treaties were signed and broken. So we continued that fight until the government finally agreed to honor our treaty rights.
Treaty rights that enable us to restore, preserve and protect the land and waterways that have always been sacred to us, and that benefit everyone who calls this region home.
Our Seattle Heritage Runs Deep. We are Muckleshoot.
Muckleshoot Tribal Members can find news, events, resources, opportunities and job listings, and more!
Through documenting Muckleshoot voices and stories today, we are carrying on the tradition of our Duwamish ancestors, and educating others about our heritage, culture, and sovereignty.

The opening of the Seattle Aquarium Ocean Pavilion and partnership with the Muckleshoot Tribe highlights the historical connection of the Muckleshoot People to the waterfront, a shared commitment to stewardship of the environment, and an opportunity to educate millions each year.
Beginning in 1989 as the Paddle to Seattle and continuing today as Paddle to Muckleshoot, Canoe Journey is a celebration of heritage and culture that sustains us as a Tribe.
