Description
English:

Kikisoblu (circa 1816-1896) was the eldest daughter of Chief Si'ahl (Chief Seattle), the leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish tribes. During her long life, she saw the coming of white settlers, the exile of her people from their traditional lands, and the growth of the new city named for her father. She didn't move to the Port Madison Reservation with the rest of her people, but stayed in Seattle. She earned her living doing laundry for some of Seattle's prominent families. White settlers referred to her as "Princess Angeline." Her house was located on Western Avenue near what is now Pike Place Market. Angeline's 1896 funeral procession included some of the most influential Seattle residents, and she is buried in Lake View Cemetery amongst other prominent early citizens. In this colorized image, Kikisoblu sits on a bench in Madrona Park, wearing a headscarf and shawl, and holding a walking stick. During her life she had become one of Seattle's most photographed people.
