Summary
| Description |
Français : Seattle (v. 1786-1866), chef de six tribus indiennes établies dans l'actuel État de Washington, dont les Dumawish et Suquamish.
Lieu de conservation de l'original : Museum of History and Industry à Seattle. English: Chief Si'ahl, known to settlers as Chief Seattle, became the leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish people sometime around 1810. When settlers started moving to the Elliott Bay area in the 1850s, Chief Si'ahl stayed friendly to the newcomers and urged his people to do the same. The city of Seattle was named for him. This 1864 portrait of Chief Si'ahl was made by early Seattle photographer E.M. Sammis. It is the only known photograph of the chief and has been reprinted in several different retouched versions. The original of this print is preserved at the Museum of History and Industry in Seattle. |
