Kitsap (Suquamish leader)

(

)

... that in 1825, the Suquamish leader Kitsap led an alliance of tribes stretching from the Columbia River to Puget Sound to stop the Cowichan slave raids wreaking havoc on the Sound?

Source: Buerge (2017)[1] p.33: "....when the Suquamish chief Kitsap organized a confederacy to meet a threat from the north."

Ibid. p. 41-42: "The most feared were the Cowichan ... Slave raids had led the Cowichan far from their homes in search of human merchandise ... by spreading havoc on the sound, they likely intended to eliminate rivals and make the HBC come to them"

Ibid. p.42: "The confederation Kitsap engineered stretched from central Puget Sound to the Columbia River, and Old Man House was its nexus."

Ibid. p. 43: "The attack likely took place around 1825 ... Kitsap and other Suquamish men took the lead"
