Director Statement

As storytellers we have the privilege to be both witness and advocate for the people who share with us the opportunity to glimpse inside their lives. By sharing what we learn from them I hope we can enrich the lives and enhance the understanding of an ever-broadening circle of people who weren't so fortunate as we to have direct and rewarding personal experiences. We have learned much from our Muckleshoot friends and for that we are deeply grateful.
