Squaxin Island Tribe of the Squaxin Island Reservation
Location & Membership
The Squaxin Island Tribe are descendants of the maritime people who lived along the shores and watersheds of the seven southernmost inlets of the Puget Sound. As a result of the 1854 Treaty of Medicine Creek, millions of acres were ceded to the U.S. government. The entirety of the Squaxin peoples were expected to reside on Squaxin Island, a reserve four and a half miles long, and a half mile wide. The Squaxin people left the island to reside in their original homelands, and today there are no year-round residents on the island. Only tribal members are allowed on the island, and Squaxin Island is now used for fishing, hunting, shellfish gathering, camping, and other activities.
The Squaxin Island Tribe is located at the south end of Puget Sound. The tribe has approximately 930 members and their reservation includes Squaxin Island and six acres of land at Kamilche.
Squaxin Tribal headquarters are now located in Kamilche, between Little Skookum and Totten Inlets, where hundreds of acres of land has been purchased by the Squaxin Island Tribe where a thriving community has been established.

Governance
The General Council is comprised of all Squaxin Island Tribe members, who elect a seven-member council that oversees all branches of Tribal government and enterprise.
