Today’s mystery question is this: How many Native American tribes are there in Washington State? Probably more than you’d think.
A special Fourth of July cake is awarded to Patty Olsen who was the first to post that the Vantage Bridge connects Kittitas and Grant counties. Karen Hand was two minutes later! Opal Mhyres, Sonji Rutan and Phyllis Griffith also gave correct answers.
There’s a difference between state recognized tribes and federally recognized tribes and then there are state recognized reservations.I dont believe 29 is the correct answer because there’s a difference between Confederated and Tribes.
