WELCOME TO THE

Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe

The Port Gamble S’Klallam were originally known as the Nux Sklai Yem—or the Strong People—and are the descendants of the Salish people who have been well established in the Puget Sound basin and surrounding areas since 2400 B.C.

In the late 1930s, the Port Gamble S’Klallam reservation, located on the northern tip of the Kitsap peninsula in Washington state, was established. Many of the Tribe’s members, who total about 1400, still live there today.

On Monday, June 12, the Enrollment Eligibility Committee (EEC) will provide a summary of its process to date to Tribal Council and ask about next steps in making decisions on recommendations by the EEC.The EEC was formed in 2018 under the direction of Tribal Council. Its members include those from existing committees, including Enrollment and Law-and-Order, as well as enrolled Tribal members, a contracted attorney, and other related consultants that specialize in data collection and analysis. Last fall, the EEC presented their initial findings to enrolled PGST members in a series of community meetings, which were followed by a survey to assess any preferences for possible changes to enrollment eligibility. The results of the survey were released this spring. The recommendations being presented to Tribal Council on Monday have been discussed during these community meetings. The Committee will see if Council is ready to discuss moving forward with one of the three recommendations made by EEC, make no changes, or pursue another as-yet-undefined option. No matter what Council decides, Tribal membership will continue to be involved. Transparency remains a core principle for the EEC and the EEC will continue to provide updates and ensure community input!
