Reservation

[edit]

The Port Gamble S'Klallam Reservation, located in the northern part of Kitsap County, Washington. It was founded in 1938 and is collectively held by the tribe.[5] The reservation covers 1,303 acres (527 ha).[4] The land is counted by the U.S. Census Bureau as the Port Gamble Tribal Community census-designated place, with an on-site population of 916 as of the 2010 census.[6]

Government

[edit]

The tribe's headquarters is in Kingston, Washington. The tribe is governed by a democratically elected, six-member tribal council. The current administration is as follows:

  • Chairwoman: Amber Caldera[7]
  • Vice-Chairman: Chris Tom
  • Council Member: Donovan Ashworth
  • Council Member: Amber Caldera
  • Council Member: Renee Verregge
  • Council Member: Matt Ives.[5]
  • The tribe ratified its constitution in 1939.[4] To enroll in the tribe, members must have a 1/8 minimum blood quantum. However, there is debate on lowering to allow further generations so long as an individual can prove direct descent to a "Treaty Signer."

    Traditionally, S'Klallam people speak the S'Klallam language, a Central Salish language. It is very similar to the Saanich dialect of the Straits Salish language. A grammar book has been published in the language, and it is taught in elementary and high school.[2]
