Point Elliott Treaty returns to tribes here, 165 years later

TULALIP — Their ancestors had signed it generations before.

About 150 tribal members gathered to inspect the Treaty of Point Elliott in January, on the anniversary of its creation.

Nearly all were seeing it for the first time.

After 165 years, the treaty has returned to the land where it was signed. It’s now on display at the Hibulb Cultural Center on the Tulalip Indian Reservation, one of the reservations established by the treaty.

On Jan. 22, 1855, thousands were drawn to the shores of what is now Mukilteo to witness the signing of the Treaty of Point Elliott. Today it’s considered one of the most important documents to Native American tribes around the Puget Sound.
