Sauk-Suiattle tribal leader Norma Joseph dies at 76

SAUK-SUIATTLE RESERVATION — When Henry Cagey thinks of the Sauk-Suiattle Tribe, he thinks of Norma Joseph.

Joseph was the chair of the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe for multiple stints, totaling seven years. As a young adult, she helped write the constitution for the modern tribe.

“She was a trailblazer in my eyes,” said Cagey, a Lummi Nation Council member.

On Monday, she died at the age of 76.

“Norma will be remembered as someone who advanced the sovereignty of the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe through preservation of culture, through protection of lands and waters, and through promotion of language,” said Kara Briggs, a Sauk-Suiattle tribal member.
