On Wednesday, September 27, 2017, County Council along with the County Executive, passed Joint Resolution 17-033 recognizing the second Monday of October as Indigenous Peoples' Day. The resolution states, "Snohomish
County values the many contributions made to our community by the Indigenous
Peoples through knowledge, labor, technology, science, philosophy, arts and the
deep cultural contribution that has substantially shaped the character of this
County."
I'm proud to represent Tulalip Tribes in District 2. I've been working hard to create a sense of fairness between our governments and treating each other with great respect. Last week Tulalip Tribes' Chairwoman Marie Zackuse, alongside members of the Tribes' Board of Directors, hosted a lunch to discuss topics including economic development, water quality, infrastructure, and cooperation.
I would like to dedicate this eNewsletter to the rich history Tulalip Tribes have contributed to Snohomish County, and I look forward to our future.

Lushootseed is a member of the Salish language
family, whose approximately twenty surviving languages are spoken from northern
Oregon to central British Columbia, and from the Pacific coast eastward into
Montana and along the British Columbia-Alberta border.
The Lushootseed-speaking region extends along
the shores of Puget Sound from modern-day Olympia to the Skagit watershed and
from Hood Canal to the Cascades. The term “Northern “ refers to the language as
spoken by the Skagit, Swinomish, Sauk-Suiattle, Stillaguamish and neighboring
peoples; “Southern Lushootseed,” is that spoken by the peoples of Snoqualmie,
Muckleshoot, Puyallup, Nisqually, Squaxin Island, Suquamish and their
neighbors. The Snohomish Lushootseed spoken at Tulalip exhibits features of both
Northern and Southern language, though it is usually categorized as “Northern.”
The Tulalip Tribes Lushootseed Department is
dedicated to increasing awareness of Lushootseed within the community and
beyond, as well as to restoring the language to everyday use within the
community.
