I was and am so impressed with this tribe that they made me wish I was 1 drop Indian - as they adopt people who are not their regular tribesmen into their tribe.  They care about all their Indian brothers and sisters they aren't just words on paper.  I was genuinely impressed with the care that they give to all mankind's being and well being!

This tribes information is 70 South East Squaxin Lane, Shelton, Washington 98584.  (360) 426-9781.  Because Ebay does not allow direct links to other web sites I have divided their web address up.  When you put the web address into your browser you will need the words all together with no spaces and without the (  ).  Their site is (www.) squaxinisland.org

The following I have taken from the booklet of the Squaxin Island Tribe's Handout Booklet that they gave me when I visited their museum.  I asked if I could print off their logo in a non-profit way of sharing with others their great words and I was told yes. 

I enjoyed their logo and I hope that you will too.  I have put the dots in to keep the text together as they have written it.
