Nooksack Indian Tribe Communications Page A tribe of approximately 2,000 located on our ancestral homeland in PNW Washington state.

We are a Tribe of approximately 2,000 members, located in our ancestral homeland in the northwest corner of Washington State. Our name comes from a place name in our language and translates to “always bracken fern roots,” which illustrates our close ties to our land and the resources that continue to give strength to our people. Our Tribe is located in Deming, Washington, just 15 miles east of Bellingham, 12 miles south of the Canadian Border, nestled amongst majestic mountains, lush forest, and the meandering and dynamic Nooksack River.

❤️🖤 Celebrating Coast Salish Day & 50 Years of Stillaguamish Tribe Recognition! 🖤❤️ On this Coast Salish Day, the Nooksack Tribe proudly celebrates the strength, resilience, sovereignty, and enduring cultural traditions of Coast Salish peoples.

Today, we also extend our heartfelt congratulations to our relatives of the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians as they commemorate 50 years of federal recognition!

We honor the generations of leaders, ancestors, and community members who fought to protect their people, lands, and sovereignty, including Chief Esther R. Ross, whose determination and leadership helped secure federal recognition for the Stillaguamish Tribe.

As Coast Salish peoples, we share deep connections through our histories, cultures, ancestral homelands, and commitment to future generations. Our sovereignty and identities existed long before federal recognition, and our strength continues through the generations.

We encourage our Nooksack community to join our Stillaguamish relatives for two special celebrations this weekend!

🎶 50th Anniversary Youth Day
📅 Saturday, October 17 | 2 PM
📍 24308 55th Avenue, Arlington, WA

🎉 50 Years of Federal Recognition Celebration
📅 Sunday, October 18 | 11 AM–3 PM
📍 Angel of the Winds Casino Resort, Arlington, WA

On Coast Salish Day, we celebrate our shared heritage, honor those who came before us, and recognize the responsibility we carry to protect our cultures, traditions, and sovereignty for generations to come.

Congratulations to the Stillaguamish Tribe on this historic milestone! We are proud to stand alongside our Coast Salish relatives in celebration.
