Suquamish Tribe

Suquamish Tribal citizens voted to fill two Tribal Council positions up for election this year at the Tribe’s annual General Council gathering. Josh Bagley was elected Tribal Council vice chair and Denita Holmes was elected treasurer. Bagley, a former geoduck diver, is president of the Suquamish Seafoods Board and vice chair of the Suquamish Tribal Gaming Commission. Holmes is a teacher at Chief Kitsap Academy, a former member of the Suquamish Museum Board and an artist. Outgoing vice chair Wayne George and treasurer Robin LW Sigo were thanked by fellow Council members, and their services acknowledged by Tribal members. Tribal Council is now comprised of Chairman Leonard Forsman, Vice Chair Josh Bagley, Secretary Windy Anderson, Treasurer Denita Holmes, and three at-large members, Sammy Mabe, Luther (Jay) Mills III, and Rich Purser. The Suquamish Tribal Council is the governing body of the Suquamish Tribe, elected by Tribal citizens during their annual General Council meeting. Candidates elected to Tribal Council serve for three-year staggered terms. With approximately 1,200 citizens, Suquamish Tribe is a federally recognized sovereign nation. The village of Suquamish and seat of the Suquamish Tribal Government are located on the Port Madison Indian Reservation, along the shores of the Puget Sound near Seattle.
