The Samish Indian Nation is the successor to the large and powerful Samish Nation, a signatory to the Treaty of Point Elliott in 1855. The Tribe's traditional territory stretches over a wide seven-county region of Northwest Washington. This area ranges from the mountain tops of the Cascades, westerly along the hills, woodlands, and river deltas, and the far western shores of the San Juan Islands. This traditional area provides a backdrop for our history and the cultural traditions that remain strong today.

Mission: The Samish Indian Nation will enrich our membership by utilizing all resources, including the interests, talents, knowledge, and skills of our members to realize our vision of a strong, proud Tribe.

Vision: To ensure the health, wealth, education, and security of the Samish Indian Nation membership, thus preserving, protecting, and promoting our culture and traditions for generations to come.
