Its mission emphasizes enriching members by leveraging their resources and talents to strengthen the Tribe, while its vision focuses on the health, wealth, education, and security of its members and the preservation of culture for future generations.

In 2024, the tribe introduced an Early Head Start program to address childcare gaps in Anacortes. As a regional tribal government, its work encompasses education initiatives, collaboration on local infrastructure projects, and programs aimed at improving community well-being and preserving cultural traditions.
