Skokomish Indian Tribe
The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC) serves as a natural resources management support service for 20 treaty Indian tribes in western Washington, including the Skokomish Tribe. Established after the 1974 U.S. v. Washington ruling, known as the Boldt Decision, the NWIFC plays a crucial role in affirming the tribes' treaty-reserved fishing rights and co-managing natural resources alongside the State of Washington.
Headquartered in Olympia, the NWIFC employs around 80 individuals and operates satellite offices in Burlington and Forks. The organization is dedicated to various fisheries and environmental protection efforts, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable management of fish and wildlife resources in their territories.
