Officials of other governments come courting, looking to the Tulalips for help and advice. They are admired for their competence, and even somewhat envied for the freedom they enjoy.
``They're a powerful ally,' said Marysville Mayor Rita Matheny, who frequently works with the tribes. ``They have some very good, dedicated people on their staff, and they're doing so much for their people.'
Bob Turner, special assistant for tribal relations to Gov. Booth Gardner, said that the tribes have earned respect in Olympia.
``They are very good and improving every day,' Turner said. ``When the Tulalips set an objective and set out to achieve it, they're very professional about it.'
The key to the future of the tribes is self-reliance combined with a close working relationship with other governments, tribal Chairman Stan Jones Sr. said.
``What we're trying to do is become more economically self-dependent,' Jones said. ``We want to create jobs here and take care of our elders and the youth.'
Jones acknowledges that to achieve independence you must first learn the value of cooperation and work with allies you can trust.
``No one stands alone,' he said. ``We all need to work together. In the last four years or so, we've really opened up the door to the other governments, like Marysville and Everett.
``We need to plan together so we can help each other. What each of us does - it does affect all of us.'
For the Tulalips, who have a reputation for keeping to themselves and taking care of their own, this new emphasis is a major change. But they also stress the need to avoid assimilation.
``It's very important to me as tribal chairman that we preserve our heritage and customs,' Jones said. ``These are the things that draw our people together. The traditions have never really died.'
A cross between a municipal government and a sovereign nation, the tribes can do things no other local government can dream of doing, such as operate its bingo hall, which is allowed under federal law.

A full one-third of tribal revenue comes from Tulalip Tribal Bingo, but it's only the beginning. Within the next few years, the Tulalips hope to establish a full-scale Reno-type casino. Negotiations with the state gambling commission on the casino will begin soon.
Like the bingo hall, the casino is made possible by court decisions and congressional actions that free tribes from legal restrictions imposed on other citizens of the state.
The availability of federal money for Indian economic development, at a time when such funding is scarce for others, will likely lead to a proposed new Interstate 5 interchange at 88th Street, Jones said. That will enable the tribes to develop a proposed 900-acre industrial park on the reservation, which could lead to revenue of as much as $20 million annually.
The Tulalips' political clout and favored position has benefited Marysville and the entire county, Matheny said.
``There would be no way possible to get that I-5 interchange if it didn't come through the Tulalips and the BIA' (Bureau of Indian Affairs), she said.

``At least, you wouldn't see it in my lifetime. We work together on it, and it will open up their industrial land and help alleviate some of the horrendous traffic we have around here. That's a good relationship between two governments.
``The businesses in Marysville get a big economic spinoff from the tribes' economic development. We're lucky they're our neighbors.'
The industrial park and casino will enable the tribe to directly employ many more of its members, Jones said. About 250 are working for the tribes now, with others employed in the fishing trade or working off the reservation.
Unemployment, a traditional concern, is decreasing all the time, he added.
The tribe is also making progress in dealing with social problems that have plagued members in the past, Jones said.
The overall societal problem of drug and alcohol abuse is being directly addressed, he added.
``If one of our members needs help, we pay about $6,000 for a 30-day program for them,' Jones said. ``So far, we've dedicated about $150,000 for that.'
Education is also a priority, and tribal members who attend college are entitled to $1,000 a month for tuition and expenses, Jones said.
``We want to foster new leaders and create new role models,' he said.
The Tulalip confederation is made up of the Snohomish, Skykomish and Stillaguamish peoples, as well as members of the Allied Bands, the smaller Duwamish, Sauk-Suiattle and Upper Skagit tribes.
Of the 2,300 tribal members, about 1,500 live on the reservation, spokeswoman Linda Jones said. More and more tribal members have been coming to live on the reservation in recent years, tribal Chairman Jones said.
Of the approximately 22,000 acres on the reservation, the tribes as a whole own 8,000 acres, with another 3,000 to 4,000 acres owned by individual tribal members, Jones said. The rest is owned by non-Indians.
When the federal Wheeler-Howard Act established the Tulalip Confederation in 1935, the tribes themselves had no collective land at all. Everything was in private hands.

Starting with a 15-acre site of an old government school donated by the federal government, the tribes made land acquisition a priority, Jones said.
We are the Tulalip (pronounced Tuh’-lay-lup) Tribes, direct descendants of and the successors in interest to the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, and other allied bands signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. As signatories, we agreed to cede title to our ancestral lands which expanded to the top of the Cascade Mountains, north to Vancouver Island and south to Oregon. In return, the treaty reserved the Tulalip Indian Reservation as our permanent homeland over which we have retained inherent sovereign jurisdiction.
Our status as a sovereign government maintains our right to self-govern as a “nation within a nation.” This includes the inherent right as a government to raise revenue for our community. Of our services, 92% are funded from within. This includes tribal member entitlements, family and senior housing, education, health, dental and mental health services, law enforcement, fire protection, infrastructure improvements and economic growth. Our tribal population is over 4,900 and growing, with 2,700 members residing on the 22,000 acre Tulalip Indian Reservation. We are located north of Everett and the Snohomish River and west of Marysville, Washington.
