The lifestyle of the Swinomish, like many Northwest Coast indigenous peoples, involves the fishing of salmon and collecting of shellfish. They reserved the right to fish and harvest in their usual and accustomed areas in the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855.[4]
History[edit]
The Swinomish moved onto reservation lands after the signing of the Point Elliott Treaty in 1855.[4]
The Swinomish police department was the second in the U.S.--and the first in Washington State—to be state-accredited.[5]
Native American Advocacy[edit]
The current Swinomish Chairman, Brian Cladoosby, is the 21st president of the National Conference of American Indians (NCAI).[6]
