Example Sentences
- "A boatload of 37 Chinese arrived in Issaquah in the early 1870s willing to work for lower wages and provoked resentment among local pickers. A group of five whites and two Snoqualmies fired into Chinese tents at night, killing three and wounding three."
- "Patkanim represented his Indians, the Snoqualmies and Snohomishes; and Goliah the Skagits and others. Leschi and the Nisquallies did not interfere, and it was well for them they did not, as the stronger tribes of the lower Sound would have resented such action, blood would have flown, and the Nisquallies would have been wiped out."
- "The Snoqualmies are said to have carried the designation "people of the moon,' and also "crowned with snow." They believed themselves to have been transformed from the mythical Beaver. Unlike most other natives of the Puget Sound Basin, they were well organized, but such a degree of organization allowed less individual freedom for their people."
