Muckleshoot Indian Tribe

We will get ready.

I know for the folks out on the West Coast, for the folks that are actually living out in Seattle, Muckleshoot will give some love to our boy, Thomas Rawls.

He's hosting a watch party tomorrow at Muckleshoot that they're coining a pajama party because it'll be like nine o'clock when they get together.

And of course, kickoff is 10 a.m.

So let's brew some coffee.

So I'm a descendant of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate.

My Cuxi grandmother is enrolled enemy swim, and I am a Muckleshoot tribal member from western Washington.

And to that, that means, it means a lot.

It means understanding what you carry and understanding what stewardship is.

I use the pronouns she and her, and I am coming to you from the beautiful Pacific Northwest on the shores of Elliott Bay and the unceded lands of the Duwamish.

the Muckleshoot, the Sammamish and the Skykomish people who have cared for these lands forever, I want to affirm your joys and sorrows with a libation for the ancestors.

Ancestors of our blood and spirit and heart, known and unknown, those whose names are spoken, and those remembered only by the Holy Earth, we call on you with humility and thanks.

Stand with us, walk before us, walk behind us, walk within us.

Welcome to our grove here at the Atomic Hearth.

Because witch weaves together many webs, past, present, and future, we'd like to acknowledge that we are currently practicing our craft on the lands of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, and Puyallup tribes.

The Atomic team participates in Real Rent, and we encourage you to engage with and contribute to similar programs in your area.

Hands in.

Totally.

Uh, the University of Washington acknowledges the Coast Salish peoples of this land, which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the Suquamish, uh, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations.

Yes.

Um, okay, that's the l- land acknowledgement that you didn't want to do.

Like you said, some positive signs early.

I just want to read from the chair of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribes Fisheries Commission quote to the Times.

Jason Elkin says, it's a never ending battle.

He was actually on a fishing boat when the reporters reached him.

Lord.

The traditional home of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot, and Snoqualmie tribes.

Joe.

Mm-hmm.

It's in...

To get there, it's actually, the area is actually owned by the Muckleshoot.

In fact, you have to go behind a gate to get to it.

And it's not totally public.
