Mahalia – 1912
This photograph pictured here is over 114 years old and was a notable woman of strength in the eyes of all Americans. She demonstrated vigor, and the lifestyle she portrayed encouraged and enabled her to live a long and healthy life. However, there are some questions surrounding the Mahalia tribe as there is some unclear history as they spread across groups such as the Duwamish, Suquamish, Snoqualmie, Muckleshoot, and Nisqually. They have a rich history that many people are yet to learn about.
Situwuka and Katkwachsnea – 1912
History doesn’t have many details about this group, even though the picture has a few details about the time of their existence. There was an “allotment” system existing in the U.S. government during the 1890s, where they began distributing over 138 million acres of land beginning from the 1930s through to the late 1880s. This duo had to live in a shelter by force where they had to mix with other tribes and initially became vagabonds in their own land.
