Overseeing the delivery of Health Care to Native American people in the Northwest

Sauk-Suiattle Tribe Traditionally, the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe lived along tributaries of the Skagit River in Washington State. Our ancestors fished for salmon, hunted game, and gathered wild berries and roots. Our people built permanent winter homes from split red cedar planks.

Today, the reservation comprises 84 acres of which 23 acres are in trust and the remaining acreage is in the process of being placed in trust.
