Filled with prayer, dance and song, the ceremony Wednesday also served as a moving testament to the resilience of hope and new beginnings. The Muckleshoots were invited to bless the land on which the New Arena (formerly KeyArena) at Seattle Center is taking shape as a symbol of respect for the deep tribal heritage of the region. The tribe’s Muckleshoot Casino has joined the Oak View Group and NHL Seattle as an official partner in the pro hockey effort. The redeveloped sports arena at Seattle Center has the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe’s blessing.Īlong with an exchange of smiles and handshakes.
