Stillaguamish (tribe)

Stillaguamish are a Native American tribe located in northwest Washington state in the United States near the city of Arlington near the river that bears their name, the Stillaguamish River. The tribe petitioned for recognition from the United States Government in 1974, and received recognition on February 7, 1979. The enrolled population of the tribe was 237 in 2003. The tribe helps manage salmon populations in the Stillaguamish River watershed. As part of this effort, the tribe has a hatchery which releases chinook and coho salmon, runs educational activities about salmon, and voluntarily does not fish for chinook salmon on the Stillaguamish River. The tribe also operates the Angel of The Winds Casino near Arlington, Washington.
