		Allotments on the Swinomish Indian Reservation were frequently of insufficient size for economic use, often found unproductive for agricultural uses, and conflicted with Indian notions of land utility.
		The Swinomish Joint Comprehensive Plan was the first comprehensive planning effort attempted between a tribe and a county in the nation.
		In the Swinomish experience, the utilitarian relationships between the tribe and state and local governments are represented in a co-regulatory or "concurrency" model where tribal and non-tribal authorities are simultaneously applied to guide development activities occurring within the Reservation.
