Chief Seattle of the Suquamish
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.
