Land Recognition

Dash Point State Park “lies within the traditional territory of multiple Native American tribes. The lands that now make up the park are most strongly associated with ancestors of the Puyallup Tribe, but may have been used by bands of the Nisqually and Muckleshoot tribes as well.

The portion of the park that lies within Pierce County was at one point a part of the Puyallup Indian Reservation established following the signing of the Treaty of Medicine Creek in 1854. However, laws that allowed for individual ownership of tribal lands caused most of the reservation, including Dash Point, to eventually fall into private, non-tribal ownership.” - parks.wa.gov/496/Dash-Point
