Princess Angeline

Overview

Kikisoblu, Princess Angeline (title and name given her by a white woman), daughter of Chief Seattle, is seen on many postcards and toward the end of her life, she lived alone, refusing to leave her homeland. What historical events led to her being one of the few Duwamish people left in Seattle by the 1890′s, only 35 years after the Treaty of Point Elliott? This video explores the injustices against the Duwamish people and their continually denied tribal status, partially through the life of Kikisoblu.
