There's an important matter now (2018) before the US Supreme Court that directly involves this tribe, federal court jurisdiction, and the (alleged) limits of tribal sovereignty. Oral arguments scheduled for March 20. Is anybody going to add a graf here? --Christofurio (talk) 15:23, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • ... that in the 19th century, after becoming a major religious leader of the Upper Skagit, a man named sƛ̕abəbtikəd united the tribes and established himself as their sole leader?
  • Source: 1. "One who attended the treaty council but did not sign it was the prophet-cultist Slaybebtkud, who came from east of the Cascade Mountains to join the Skagits. After the treaty, he exerted great authority by uniting about ten extended and autonomous village bands of the upper Skagit River and its tributaries" (Ruby et al. 2010, p.361).
2. "sƛ̕abəbtikəd became a famous innovator, introducing a new religion and a system of formal, centralized government among the Upper Skagit. As a self-selected missionary, he had a big wooden house at saxipəp...Under his leadership, this house became a "church" during the summer months...The concentation of authority in the hands of a single individual was basic in this cult" (Collins 1974, p.34).
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: Alternatively, his name has been rendered as Slaybebtikud or Stababutkin in English, if that is easier to read (or to save on characters).
