Indian Reorganization Act

The Tulalip Tribes was organized under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. Tulalips' Constitution and Bylaws were approved January 24, 1936 and a Charter ratified October 3, 1936. The governing body is the seven member Tulalip Board of Directors. As of April 19, 2004 the Tribe has 3,611 members live and active on the reservation. The Tribe provides many services to its members including preschool, higher education assistance, Health and Dental Clinics, a pharmacy, a state-licensed chemical dependency recovery program, senior retirement home and cultural activities. In addition to two Marysville School District (MSD) elementary schools, the Tribe collaborates with MSD in providing on-Reservation middle school and high school alternative programs. The Tulalip Tribes provides over-sight to the Tulalip Housing Authority, which provides nearly 300 housing units for Tribal members, and to the Tulalip Utilities District, the primary provider of water/sewer services.
