About Our Tribe
SAVE THE DATE!
The third annual Giving Hope Gala to support Salish Cancer Center patients will take place December 13, 2025! More information, including sponsorship opportunities, will be put on this site in the coming months. If you have questions, please email CancerGala@puyalluptribe-nsn.gov.
Mark your calendars, and let’s raise $1 million this year to ease patients’ financial burden.
Our Partnership with the FIFA World Cup 2026
In 2026, the Puyallup Tribe and FIFA will come together to welcome the world to Seattle for the World Cup. This partnership marks a historic first: the first time an Indigenous nation will be formally represented at the World Cup.
As we welcome visitors in 2026, we invite them not only to witness world-class soccer, but also to experience the enduring presence, generosity, and resilience of the Puyallup people.
The Puyallup Tribe's Regional Impact
As one of the most urban tribes in the United States, the Puyallup Tribe is committed to being a good neighbor. It is consistently one of the top 10 employers in Pierce County, it fights to protect the environment, its economic development projects create jobs, and it donates millions of dollars each year to charitable organizations through its Charity Trust Board and through donations made directly by the Puyallup Tribal Council.
