Federally Recognized Native Tribes in Washington State

Government–to–Government Relations Treaties between the United States and Native Tribes established the status of tribes as Native Sovereign Nations. Treaties in the Washington Territory were signed in

The Washington Adventure Native Americans In the old days…..we relied on the baskets, the rivers, the lands, the roots, the berries, the fish, and the animals. Today, we live the [modern] life, but our hearts still travel where our ancestors lived and died. Liichaat Chehalis, A Time of Tribal Gathering: An Intertribal Welcome

Children were encouraged to develop strict discipline and a high regard for sharing. When a girl picked her first berries and dug her first roots, they were given away to an elder so she would share her future success. When a child carried water for the home, an elder would give compliments, pretending to taste meat in water carried by a boy or berries in that of a girl. The child was encouraged not to be lazy and to grow straight like a sapling. -- Mourning Dove Christine Quintasket, ( ) Salish Traditional Teaching
