Princess Angeline,” daughter of Chief Seattle

Angeline was born around 1820 in what is today Rainier Beach in



 Seattle.  In her native language of Lushootseed, Angeline was called Kikisoblu or Kick-is-om-lo.  The name Angeline was given to her by pioneer Catherine Broshears Maynard and became the name she was most known by. 

When Angeline was in her mid-30s, the Treaty of Point Elliott required that all Duwamish Indians leave their land for reservations.  Angeline ignored those orders and remained in Seattle.  She lived in a waterfront cabin near the current location of Pike Place Market, selling baskets and taking in laundry to make money.

Angeline was a popular subject for artists and photographers of the day.  Famed photographer Edward S. Curtis began his Native American portraits by photographing Angeline. 

 Angeline died on May 29, 1896.  Legend has it that her ghost is sometimes spotted at Pike Place Market.

The Indo-Aryan migrations[note 1]

Image
The Indo-Aryan migrations[note 1]  were the migrations into the Indian subcontinent of Indo-Aryan peoples, an ethnolinguistic group that spoke Indo-Aryan languages. These are the predominant languages of today's Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, North India, Eastern Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Indo-Aryan migration into the region, from Central Asia, is considered to have started after 2000 BCE as a slow diffusion during the Late Harappan period and led to a language shift in the northern Indian subcontinent. Several hundred years later, the Iranian languages were brought into the Iranian plateau by the Iranians, who were closely related to the Indo-Aryans. The Proto-Indo-Iranian culture, which gave rise to the Indo-Aryans and Iranians, developed on the Central Asian steppes north of the Caspian Sea as the Sintashta culture (c. 2200-1900 BCE),[2] in present-day Russia and Kazakhstan, and developed further as the Andronovo culture (2000–1450 BCE).[3][4] The Indo-Aryans split off sometime bet...
