Princess Angeline Princess Angeline (Kikisoblu), Duwamish, ca. 1820-1896 From a photograph by Edward S. Curtis, 1895 Kikisoblu was born in 1820 in what is now Seattle, Washington. Her father, Chief Seattle (Si'ahl) was an ancestral leader of the Suquamish tribe and a Duwamish chief. Chief Seattle befriended an American settler, David Swinson "Doc" Maynard. Maynard's spouse converted Kikisoblu to the Christian faith and gave her the name "Princess Angeline". In her mid-thirties, she defied the U.S. government's order to relocate to a reservation. She refused to leave her cabin on Western Avenue between Pike Street and Pine Street. She built a new cabin on the same lot in the 1890s. When she died on May 31, 1896, the cabin was removed and the lot became part of the Pike Place Market. She was buried in a canoe-shaped coffin in Seattle's Lake View Cemetery.
