The history of the Snohomish Tribe is woven with stories of resilience, perseverance, survival, and the unbreakable bond between our people and our Ancestral lands.
Legal History
From time immemorial, we have inhabited these lands, weathering countless challenges and adapting to the ever-changing world while preserving our cultural heritage.
The sduhubš ("Snohomish") Tribe, much like a magnificent cedar tree, stands tall and unwavering amidst the tempestuous winds of history. Our indomitable spirit can be likened to the cedar's roots, firmly anchored to the Land, a testament to our unwavering commitment to our ancestral traditions and our profound connection with this sacred ground.
Just as the relentless winds may sway and strain the cedar's branches, historical forces and injustices have sought to break the spirit of the Snohomish Tribe. However, we, like the resilient cedar, remain unbowed, reaching for the skies in the face of adversity. Our story, akin to that of the cedar in the midst of a storm, serves as a testament of the enduring human spirit and unyielding strength of our people. We persist, resolute and resplendent, for the sake of our Ancestors and the generations yet to come, forever grounded in our cultural identity.
