To the left is the most famous photo of Chief Seattle. A
less-well-known photo of him shows him wearing a hat and standing in a group
of Indian leaders at the signing of the Nisqually Treaty.

Although we call him "Chief" Seattle, there were no hereditary chiefs
among the Puget Sound Indians. Strong leaders arose in each village from
time to time who, distinguishing themselves by the actions or particular
skills, were respected and followed. For instance, there were fishing
leaders, peacetime leaders, and leaders in times of crisis. Chief Seattle
was one of those. In addition to his leadership skills and his ability to
understand what the white settler's intentions were, he was also a noted
orator in his native language. At the presentation of the treaty proposals
in 1854, Chief Seattle delivered a magnificent speech, which is widely
remembered today. It is the speech of a man who has seen his world turned
upside down in his own lifetime: as a boy, he had seen Vancouver's ships,
and when he died the treaty protests were still going on.... Chief Seattle
passed away in 1866.... From his grave on
the Kitsap Peninsula the modern city of Seattle is visible across Puget
Sound. Knowing some of the settlers as well as he did, the fact that the
small village bearing his name survived and flourished would not surprise
him. That his people have survived the challenges of this century would
please him.
-From
The Eyes of Chief Seattle, published by the
Suquamish Tribe.
Chief Seattle's father, Schweabe, was a Suquamish chief who lived on
Bainbridge Island, across Puget Sound from the
present city of Seattle. But Chief Seattle was considered a member of the
Duwamish tribe, who lived on a river in southwest Seattle, across Puget
Sound from the Suquamish tribe. His mother, Scholitza, was the daughter of a
Duwamish chief, and the line of descent among the Duwamish traditionally
runs through the mother.
According to early Seattle historian Clarence
Bagley, Chief Seattle as a young warrior was known for his courage,
daring, and leadership in battle. He gained control of six local tribes and
continued the friendly relations with local Europeans that his father began.
Chief Seattle gave his famous
speech in December 1854 in downtown Seattle, when he was in his late
fifties or early sixties. The only known version of this speech comes from
the pen of Dr. Henry A. Smith, a settler and amateur writer who was present
and took notes at the time. But waited 30 years before he transcribed his
notes on the speech. Smith also did not speak coastal Salish, the language
of Chief Seattle, so no one knows whether someone present during the speech
translated Chief Seattle's words into Chinook, a Northwest Coast trade
language, which Smith did speak, but only haltingly. All we know is that
"Chief Seattle's" speech, as Smith rendered it from his 30-year-old notes,
contains common 19th-century English-language rhetorical flourishes that
make it sound suspiciously like Smith made up at least part of it--and maybe
all of it.
Besides this alleged speech, Chief Seattle has also had a
huge influence in another way on worldwide impressions of American Indians.
His daughter, called "Princess Angeline" by local
European-Americans, lived out her old age in a waterfront shack in downtown
Seattle. A young portrait photographer, Edward S.
Curtis, often saw Princess Angeline in downtown Seattle. He became
intrigued by her and often photographed her and talked with her. Curtis's
interest in Princess Angeline led to an interest in other American Indians,
and Curtis went on to become the most famous photographer of them. He
devoted most of his life to taking taking pictures of Indians all over
America, with the financial backing of industrialist/art collector J. P.
Morgan and the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Chief Seattle as a young boy saw the first Englishmen who
visited the Puget Sound region area, in 1792--Captain George Vancouver and
his sailors--when they anchored their ships the Discovery and the
Chatham near the southeast corner of Bainbridge Island, across from the
present-day city of Seattle. Chief Seattle was always intrigued by Europeans
and their culture, and he later became good friends with Doc Maynard, the
progressive, hard-drinking entrepreneur who more than anyone helped
establish the city of Seattle. In fact, Chief Seattle saved Doc Maynard from
an assassination attempt by another Indian. Chief Seattle also helped
protect the small band of European-American settlers in what is now Seattle
from attacks by other Indians. Because of his friendship and help, at the
urging of Doc Maynard, the settlers named their city after him.
