The Suquamish (Lushootseed: xʷsəq̓ʷəb)[1] are a Lushootseed-speaking Native American people, located in present-day Washington in the United States. They are a southern Coast Salish people.
Today, most Suquamish people are enrolled in the federally recognized Suquamish Indian Tribe of the Port Madison Reservation,[2][better source needed] a signatory to the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott. Chief Seattle, the famous leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish Tribes for whom the City of Seattle is named, signed the Point Elliot Treaty on behalf of both Tribes. The Suquamish Tribe owns the Port Madison Indian Reservation.
