Sovereignty is the authority of a people to govern themselves. Our sovereignty guarantees our inherent right as a government to raise revenue for our community. 92% of our government services such as family and senior housing, education, health and dental services, law enforcement, fire protection, infrastructure improvements, and economic growth are funded from within. Treaties, court cases, and the U.S. Constitution have upheld Tulalip’s status as a self-governing nation. Today, the tribal government and the people of the Tulalip Tribes continue to exercise our sovereignty through many initiatives.
