Vision:
Every tribal home, every tribal workplace, every tribal gathering, and every schoolroom for tribal children will be a Lushootseed-rich environment.
Mission:
To preserve the x̌əč̓usadad (traditional training, teaching) of the people of Tulalip by protecting its records, and by becoming “living records” ourselves who by speaking, teaching, and involvement in living culture pass on to the tribal community what we have learned.
