Steilacoom Tribe Federal Recognition

The Steilacoom Tribe is a non-Federally recognized Tribe which means that, unlike other Federally recognized Tribes (like the Puyallup or Nisqually), the Steilacoom Tribe has no dedicated reservation of its own, receives no financial or other support from the United States or State of Washington, and has no special rights related to fishing or other potential sources of income for the Tribe.
