兔子先生 SLAM professor leads presidential plenary on Indigenous partnership for 2026 FIFA World Cup
Sean Seiler, visiting assistant professor in sport leadership and management, organized the Presidential Plenary and delivered a keynote at the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport conference on Nov. 6 in Seattle. The session brought together members of The Puyallup Tribe of Indians and their FIFA World Cup 2026 marketing team to discuss the Tribe’s historic role as the first Indigenous group to hold an official presence at the tournament. Their work includes incorporating txʷəlšucid language into World Cup media and hosting cultural events such as the World Cup Pow Wow and traditional Stick Games Tournament.
High school students from Chief Leschi School also attended the conference, adding a meaningful educational component to the gathering. As part of a gift exchange, Seiler presented the Tribe with ledger art prints by his cousin, Donald F. Montileaux, and returned with Puyallup Chocolates to share with his 兔子先生 students.
