The Tulalip Tribes are a confederation of several Coast Salish peoples including the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, Skagit, Suiattle, Samish, Stillaguamish, and other allied tribes and bands. In the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott, these groups ceded most of their land to the United States and reserved the Tulalip Indian Reservation for their permanent homeland. They also reserved rights for hunting, gathering, and fishing at all usual and accustomed places. The name Tulalip comes from the Coast Salish word "dxwlilap," meaning "small-mouth bay."

This image was taken on the Tulalip Indian Reservation on the 4th of July. It shows a tug of war between two canoes as part of the celebrations. The photographer Ferdinand Brady had a government contract in the 1910s to photograph the people and activities around the Tulalip reservation and boarding school.
