- Chief Seattle (Wikipedia)
Seattle (c. 1780~86 – June 7, 1866; Lushootseed: siʔaɬ, IPA: ; usually styled as Chief Seattle) was a leader of the Duwamish and Suquamish peoples. A leading figure among his people, he pursued a path of accommodation to white settlers, forming a personal relationship with Doc Maynard. The city of Seattle, in the U.S. state of Washington, was named after him. A widely publicized speech arguing in favor of ecological responsibility and respect for Native Americans’ land rights has been attributed to him.
