	Jamestown S'Klallam Tribe Federal Recognition Documents The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s Petition for Recognition, first filed in 1975, is a comprehensive history of Tribal life before settlers arrived, and the Tribe’s subsequent interactions with the immigrant community and the United States government. It clearly illustrated that in a practical sense, the Jamestown S’Klallam people had always been recognized, but simply lacked official status until 1981. view the Federal Recognition Exhibit view online collection

	Original Jamestown Land Purchase Deeds In 1874, under the leadership of Lord James "Jim" Balch (son of tələsmítəm), our people who lived in the Dungeness village of céʔsqaʔt decided that in order to survive, a new value system needed to be adopted which included property ownership. Fourteen stətíɬəm nəxʷsƛáyəm families pooled $500 in gold coins and purchased 210 acres along the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This became the village known as Jamestown, named for James Balch. view the Land Purchase Deeds Exhibit view online collection
