Information About

Port Madison Indian Reservation




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.
