The Puyallup Tribe is a Native American tribe located in the Pacific Northwest, primarily in the state of Washington. They are part of the larger group of tribes known as the Coast Salish. The tribe's name means "generous people" in their native language, and they have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional practices, art, and storytelling. Historically, the Puyallup people relied on the abundant natural resources of the region, including the nearby Puget Sound for fishing and the fertile land for agriculture. Today, the tribe is involved in various economic ventures, including gaming and tourism, while also working to preserve their cultural identity and protect their ancestral lands.
