The Tulalip Tribes is a federally recognized tribe
and successors in interest to the Snohomish,
Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied tribes and
bands that signed the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott.
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.
