Today, the Nisqually Tribe resides in the Pacific Northwest, primarily in the vicinity of the Nisqually River basin in western Washington state. Their reservation, established in 1854 following the signing of the Treaty of Medicine Creek, encompasses lands near the towns of Olympia, Lacey, and Yelm. This area includes diverse landscapes ranging from lush forests to fertile prairies, reflecting the tribe's historical connection to the natural environment. The Nisqually Reservation serves as a hub of cultural, social, and economic activity for the tribe, providing a home where traditions are upheld and community bonds are strengthened. Despite the challenges of historical displacement and environmental changes, the Nisqually people continue to thrive in this region, preserving their heritage while also adapting to the demands of contemporary life.
