2072 Details
Tribal Wilderness and Diplomacy -
You don’t have to leave the metroplex borders to get a taste of the culture
and history of the Native American Nations; it’s available right in the
heart of Seattle on Council Island, situated in Lake Washington. The Treaty
of Denver ceded the island to the newly formed Native American Nations in
2018, and it now serves as an embassy and tribal enclave in the Seattle
Metroplex. The Salish-Shidhe Council also maintains the island as a nature
preserve, allowing visitors to enjoy the unspoiled wilderness alongside
displays of Native American culture. Visitors’ passes and tour information
are available through the Grand Council Lodge.
JackPoint Comment
- Visiting Council Island may not be as involved as getting a blue
ticket to go into Salish-Shidhe territory, but don’t make the mistake
of thinking you can just waltz in and out and go wherever you want.
The whole island is a foreign embassy, and tribal law applies there.
The Council personnel take security seriously; as an enclave in the
midst of a potentially hostile foreign power, they don’t have much
choice.
