The Duwamish Tribe:
Chief Seattle's Mother's People

Duwamish Win Recognition--Then Lose It 48 Hours Later!
The Duwamish people were the tribe of Chief Seattle's mother, Scholiza. On January 19, 2001, the Duwamish won recognition from the U.S. federal government. But less than 48 hours later, President George W. Bush rescinded it. Read all about this outrage below. Then visit the tribe's Web site and offer your support.
