Our Ancestral Territory

Snohomish Tribe's ancestral territory extended from the Cascade Mountains in the east to the Olympic Mountains in the west, and from the northern reaches of present-day King County to the southern reaches of Skagit County. These lands were rich in natural resources and provided the foundation for the Snohomish Tribe's cultural, spiritual, and economic practices for countless generations.

Sovereign Nation

In Our Words

"A sovereign nation since time immemorial"

"The Snohomish Tribe has functioned as a sovereign nation since time immemorial. And while a political late-comer to the area is thwarting our efforts and affecting our lives, we maintain a firm belief in the sanctity and integrity of the Treaty of Point Elliott and the Constitution of the United States of America. Many of our members have defended that constitution with our lives; how can the American Nation turn its collective back on our people when we seek justice?"
