Thanks also to all of the organizations that have committed their support to 2008 Skate America. Please take the opportunity to thank these organizations for their foresight and enthusiasm.
Tulalip Tribes
The Tulalip Tribes are federally recognized successors in interest to the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish and other tribes and bands signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. The more than 22,000 acre Tulalip Indian Reservation is located north of Everett and the Snohomish River and west of Marysville, Washington. Tribal government provides health and dental clinics, family and senior housing, utilities, schools, childcare, higher education assistance, recreation, cultural and historical preservation and activities. The Tribes maintain an aggressive environmental preservation program, both on and off of the reservation to protect the Snohomish region's natural resources: marine waters, tidelands, fresh water rivers and lakes, wetlands, and forests. Developable land and an economic development zone along the I-5 corridor provide revenue and services for tribal members. As of July 2007 the tribe has 3,848 members. The governing body is the seven-member Tulalip Board of Directors. For more information, visit www.tulaliptribes-nsn.gov.
