History & geography

History

The Suquamish people have lived in the Puget Sound, including the area around the current town of Suquamish, Washington, for thousands of years. When Europeans began moving to the Americas, diseases spread to the Suquamish and killed many people. In 1855, members of the Suquamish Tribe signed the Treaty of Point Elliott, which created the Port Madison Reservation. Its land included (the place of the clear salt water), a winter village around the Old Man House. The longhouse's residents had included Chief Seattle and Chief Kitsap. When Chief Seattle died in 1866, he was buried in a cemetery, now called the Suquamish Cemetery, near the village. After Chief Seattle died, the U.S. Indian Agent for the Port Madison Reservation, William DeShaw, burned down the longhouse. His goal was to force the 600-800 Suquamish residents of the area to leave and change their living style, moving to single-family houses in other areas of the reservation. Most families remained at . After the Dawes Act was passed in 1887, the U.S. government used more excuses for taking reservation land from tribal members to sell to non-native developers. Through sales and seizures, pieces of the Port Madison Reservation land began to move to non-native ownership. Many Suquamish remained at in spite of the U.S. government's efforts to disperse them. A one-acre park around the site of the longhouse, or the Old Man House, was returned to the Suquamish Tribe in 2004. In 2009, the Suquamish Tribe built the House of Awakened Culture as their first traditional communal space since 1870, when the longhouse was burned. The building is used as a ceremonial, governmental, research, and education space.
