		The Duwamish, including Chief Seattle (178?-1866), for whom Seattle is named, were among the signers of the Point Elliott treaty, signed on January 22, 1855, and ratified by the United States Senate in 1859.

		The 1996 decision against the tribe had to do with a 10-year gap in records for the decade 1915 to 1925, which made a break in the continuous existence requirement (within the meaning of federal law) for tribal recognition.

		In 1993, three of these tribes, the Duwamish, Snohomish, and Steilacoom Tribes ("the Three Tribes"), petitioned the United States District Court for Western Washington for relief from the 1979 judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(6) on the ground that Judge Boldt may have suffered from Alzheimer's disease in 1979.
		The Three Tribes argue that 60(b)(6) relief should be granted and discovery allowed because of the possibility that they were denied a competent fact-finder when their treaty status was decided by Judge Boldt.
		The Tribes thus could not have forced Judge Boldt's recusal had they been aware of his disability while he was presiding over their case.
