Residents

Our tribal population is over 5,000 with about 2,700 members residing on the 22,000-acre Tulalip Indian Reservation located north of Everett and the Snohomish River and west of Marysville, Washington. We strive to have a tribal community that is physically, emotionally, and spiritually happy and healthy. The Tulalip Tribes have an ongoing commitment to the community. We have and will continue to make a positive difference by working in partnership with Marysville, Everett, and Snohomish County to create solid, caring, and proud communities.

Tribal sovereignty is one of the most critical issues facing the Indigenous Peoples of North America. As recognized by the courts, tribal sovereignty is the inherent right of Native American Indian Nations to govern themselves, make their own laws, and be self-determining. This includes jurisdiction over persons, property, territory, and economic and social welfare affairs. It is essential for protecting the rights and interests of tribes, their citizens, and their lands.
