Seattle (wódz)
Jedyne znane zdjęcie wodza Seattle
Seattle, właśc. Si’ahl (ok. 1780 – 7 czerwca 1866) – wódz plemienia Duwamish. Znany z przypisywanej mu przemowy, którą miał wygłosić 1855 roku, odpowiadając na żądanie sprzedaży ziemi prezydentowi USA, Franklinowi Pierce’owi. Jej tekst został spisany i przetłumaczony na angielski kilka lat później, stąd kontrowersje odnośnie do samego faktu, jak też i wierności przekazu. Imieniem wodza nazwano miasto Seattle.

Chief seattle.jpg
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.
