The Tulalip Tribes

We are the Tulalip (pronounced Tuh’-lay-lup) Tribes, successors in interest to the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied tribes and bands signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. Our status as a sovereign entity maintains our right to self-govern as a “nation within a nation” and includes the inherent right as a government to raise revenue for our community. Of our government services, 92% are funded from within including tribal member entitlements, family and senior housing, education, health, dental and mental health services, law enforcement, fire protection, infrastructure improvements, and economic growth. Our tribal population is over 4,800 with about 2,600 members residing on the acre Tulalip Indian Reservation located north of Everett and the Snohomish River and west of Marysville, Washington.
