A Nation of Mixed-Blood Native American Descendants
The Sakochee Tribe is a sovereign nation built to honor the legacy, identity, and future of mixed-blood Native American descendants. We provide a cultural home, advocate for recognition, and celebrate the strength of our people—past, present, and future.
Founded in 2008 in Eugene, Oregon, the Sakochee Tribe welcomes individuals with proven Native ancestry—regardless of blood quantum or how far back. We represent a diverse and inclusive community of over 113,000 members, united by heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of justice for those historically excluded from tribal enrollment.
Led by Chief Alexander Ziwahatan, an openly gay hereditary tribal chief, our governance reflects our commitment to inclusion, innovation, and cultural pride. Our Council works collaboratively to protect the rights, history, and voice of our people.
We’ve earned acknowledgments from U.S. city governments and forged treaties with Métis Nations across Canada. Our fight for state and federal recognition continues—most recently with a formal petition to the Trump Administration in 2025.
If you can document Native ancestry—whether through historical records or DNA testing—you may be eligible to enroll. Reclaim your roots. Reconnect with your culture. Restore what was taken.
