Puyallup (tribe)

Puyallup (tribe) is a group of Native American peoples from western Washington state in the United States. The Puyallup tribe settled onto reservation lands in modern-day Tacoma, Washington in late 1854 after signing the Treaty of Medicine Creek.

The Puyallup tribe originally spoke the Puyallup Nisqually language of the Salishan family of languages spoken among Northwest Coast indigenous peoples. The tribe also runs the Chief Leschi School for young school-age tribal members.
