		After the signing of the treaty the Snoqualmie people tried to secure a reservation in their ancestral lands by the Tolt River but were not successful.
		The Snoqualmies appealed to the Court of Claims on August 27, 1965 and the court reversed the commission's decision on the issue.
		The Snoqualmie tribe had federal recognition of a government-to-government relationship from 1859 when the U.S. Senate and the President ratified the treaty of Point Elliott to sometime between 1955 and 1961 when they were no longer considered to be an "organized" tribe under jurisdiction of the BIA.

	Snoqualmie Falls
		Snoqualmie Falls, thirty miles east of Seattle, Washington, is sacred to the Snoqualmie Tribe of the Puget Sound region.
		The request offended the Snoqualmie people who were already unhappy about the sacrilegious operation and the fact that the power company, developers, tourists, and federal officials have consistently disregarded the spiritual and cultural significance of the falls to the tribe.
		The Snoqualmie people and their allies believed this was the last opportunity to preserve and restore this sacred place “for all people, for all time”.

		Plant No. 1, on the southbank of the Snoqualmie River, is the oldest and Plant No.2, built on the northbank of the river in 1910, is around the bend in the river and can't be seen from the Falls.
		The Snoqualmie River feeds into these mouths that allow water to drop hundreds of feet down pipes called penstocks, which are protected from debris and silt by dams and rakes.
		Mattson said that although the state can't discriminate against the Tribe or PSE regarding use of the Falls, a ruling for PSE's use of the resource is a kind of discrimination against the Tribe.

		For the tribe, the power plants represent a painful legacy that dates back to 1898, the year the first powerhouse was installed inside a shaft that extends 270 feet down into the bedrock that forms the falls.
		The importance of Snoqualmie Falls as a sacred site wasn't taken into account then, or when subsequent powerhouses came on line in 1905, 1910 and 1957, or even when the first FERC license was issued, Mattson said.
		The Snoqualmie Tribe regained its status as a federally recognized tribe in 1998.

		A primary purpose of the project is to create self-sufficiency and economic opportunities that are necessary for the Tribe to provide services, and to compensate for the effects of loss of habitat and resources within Tribal traditional areas that necessitate such economic enterprises.
		Tribes of Western Washington, including Snoqualmie Tribe, have been stewards of the land since long before the arrival of non-Tribal settlers and communities.
		To depict the Tribe and this project on an opposite end of a dichotomy of growth and preservation from environmental organizations represents a perspective that is myopic geographically and temporally.
