Port Madison Indian Reservation
- Port Madison Indian Reservation
The Port Madison Indian Reservation is an Indian reservation in northern Kitsap County, Washington. It occupies 30.273 km² (11.689 sq mi) on the western and northern shores of Port Madison, and is divided into two separate parcels by Miller Bay. The unincorporated towns of Suquamish and Indianola both lie within the bounds of the reservation. A resident population of 6,536 persons was counted in the 2000 census.
The reservation was established by the Point Elliott Treaty of January 22, 1855, for the Suquamish tribe, and was enlarged by an executive order issued October 21, 1864. When the land was reserved by the Point Elliott Treaty, all land was held by members of the Suquamish tribe and designated for their sole use. However, a series of procedures designed to accommodate non-Indian expansion and land acquisition have created a situation today where the reservation is widely interspersed with non-tribal ownership.
Chief Seattle’s grave is located on the reservation within the town of Suquamish.
