On Juneteenth, we stand in solidarity with the Black community in the fight for equality and justice. Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and serves a reminder of the struggles Black Americans have faced. Join us in reflecting on this history and celebrating freedom, hope, and empowerment for all.

60 years ago today, Muckleshoot Tribal Members came together to demand recognition of our treaty-protected fishing rights. The Muckleshoot Treaty Trek sparked the movement that led to the Boldt Decision, a turning point in the fight for tribal sovereignty. On this milestone anniversary, we honor those who fought for our rights as well as those who are continuing to protect them for the future.

We are so, *so* excited for tomorrow's annual Highline Native Student Success Forum 🤩🧡

We'll have the remarkable Highline High Junior, student leader, and Seafair Powwow Princess Patricia Jones (Nimiipuu/Nez Perce) with us as well as the much venerated Roger Fernandes (Lower Elwhah S'Klallam). Join us for the sharing of knowledge, and a beautiful celebration of our Native students and our whole brilliant and powerful Native community in Highline! We'll be at the Puget Sound Skills Center and will start at 6 PM.
