The Tulalip Bay Settlement

Early settlers John Gould (1823-1900), Jehial Hall, Charles C. Phillips (1824-1867), Hudson’s Bay trapper Peter Goutre (1804-1875), and Seattle pioneer Dr. Wesley Cherry (?-1854) built a small water-powered sawmill at Tulalip Bay in 1853.
Two years later Tulalip Reservation boundaries included this mill site and the federal government asked tenants to move. Tulalip Tribes began operating the sawmill.

The first missionaries to settle in the Snohomish River area were Father Eugene Casimir Chirouse (1821-1892), Oblates of Mary Immaculate, (OMI), assisted by Father Darieu (OMI).
Chirouse was first assigned in the Cayuse area but was transferred to Olympia following an Indian uprising. Chirouse was next sent to establish a mission at Tulalip.

He and Father Darieu arrived in 1857, opening a mission and boys’ school at Quil Ceda, at the mouth of Ebey Slough.
St. Anne’s Mission and school was moved to Priest Point (named for Chirouse) and then to its final location at Tulalip Bay where parishioners built a log church and school.
During the smallpox epidemic of 1862, Chirouse reported vaccinating 400 Indians at Tulalip. Only three died, a small number compared to the many deaths at nearby Indian villages.

In 1868 Sisters of Providence joined Chirouse at St. Anne’s, opening a school for girls, Providence of Our Lady of Seven Dolors. A year later the government appropriated money to support the school, making St. Anne’s Mission the United States’ first Indian School.
In 1902 the Mission burned to the ground. Two years later a new St. Anne’s Mission church (currently on the National Register of Historic Places) took its place at the same location, opening January 23, 1905.

Tribal members recall Father Chirouse as a gentle and steady presence.
He learned the Lushootseed dialect spoken at Tulalip and often served as arbiter and translator.

Indian Boarding School

By the early 1900s the Bureau of Indian Affairs sought to separate church affiliations with schools on Indian reservations.
In 1901 the government began operating the school at Tulalip, building a new structure which served also as the regional Indian Agency headquarters.
The school was planned to accommodate a thousand students, serving all Indians west of the Cascades. In reality it could only house 75. There were separate dormitories for boys and girls. While girls learned cooking, sewing, and housekeeping, boys were taught vocational trades. Some classes were taught using the Montessori method.

In an attempt to suppress indigenous culture, the government operated the school in military style and the experience for Tulalips was brutal. Students were subjected to daily marches and were punished for speaking their native language and practicing native customs.
Today the Tulalip Tribes offer group sessions to former students who, as seniors, are still coping with the scars received from their boarding school days.
