The CTUIR is composed of three tribes: the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla. The tribes are committed to preserving their cultural heritage, protecting natural resources, and promoting economic development for their community.

The CTUIR operates under a constitution and bylaws that were adopted in 1949. The tribal government is responsible for managing a variety of programs and services, including education, health care, housing, and natural resource management.
