​The Tribe does not benefit from federal recognition.
The Duwamish do not have just access to the resources of their homelands.
After decades of resistance to erasure, the Duwamish remain unacknowledged by the federal, state, and local governments.
The Duwamish do not have just access to the resources of their homelands:
​
1855: Point Elliott Treaty signed, promising the Duwamish people land, healthcare, education, and fishing rights

​1977:  Duwamish filed petition holding the U.S. government to this Treaty

2001: Duwamish granted federal recognition, only to be revoked by the incoming Bush Administration
​
​2015: Duwamish submitted a total of 35,000 pages documenting their existence and governance only to be again denied recognition by the Bureau of Indian Affairs

​THE 1855 TREATY HAS STILL NOT BEEN HONORED
