About the Tribe
History
The Muckleshoot are part of the Coastal Indian culture of the Pacific Northwest. Salmon was the foremost food, and the western red cedar the most important natural resource, with many tribal beliefs and ceremonies being centered around both. Like many Coastal tribes, they made fine basketry, wood carvings, blankets and clothing of loom-woven dog hair, and boxes, buckets, serving dishes and utensils of steamed and bent cedar. Cedar bark also supplied clothing, mats, furnishings, and rope. They had an elaborate social structure with a hereditary nobility, a middle class, and a slave class of war captives and their descendants. Leadership was determined by wealth. The Tribe is organized under the Indian Reorganization Act, with the constitution and charter ratified in 1941. The Muckleshoot Tribal Council consists of nine members elected annually and is subject to the Muckleshoot General Council. The
Muckleshoot Reservation is located in south King County, State of Washington, on Hwy 164 between the cities of Auburn and Enumclaw.

Geography
The Reservation is small and lies along the White River and State Road 164 southeast of Auburn, WA. The city of Auburn has a population of 73,000. King County is the largest and most populated county within the state of Washington.
