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.
