Description: "This updated edition of Native Seattle brings the indigenous story to the present day and puts the movement to recognize Seattle's Native past into a broader context. Native Seattle focuses on the experiences of local indigenous communities on whose land Seattle grew, accounts of Native migrants to the city, and the development of a multi-tribal urban community, as well as on the role Native Americans have played in the narrative of Seattle."--Page 4 of cover.
