Salish & The Snoqualmie Tribe

The Snoqualmie tribe acquired ownership of Salish Lodge & Spa and the nearby gift shop in November of 2019.

“We truly value and celebrate our relationship with the Snoqualmie Tribe and are honored to be implementing more education around the cultural significance of the Falls to the Tribe,” Salish Lodge & Spa General Manager Alan Stephens said. “It is important for our visitors to learn about the Falls and the Tribe’s greater ancestral lands, and this effort brings that to life in a permanent and meaningful way.”

SACRED LAND

“Over 2 million people travel from all over the world to visit our sacred site each year,” Snoqualmie Tribe chairman Robert M. de los Angeles said. “While they are here, we want to make sure they are aware of how important and sacred this site is to the Snoqualmie people, how we have cared for it since time immemorial, and the need to protect it from continued desecration. It is important that this story is told directly by the Tribe in a way that is authentic and educational, which is what makes this project so exciting.”

It is through education and awareness that individuals can integrate land acknowledgement and respect for the Snoqualmie Tribe into their recreational practices and experiences.
