<p>Kikisoblu was the eldest daughter of Chief Si'ahl (Chief Seattle). By the time this photo was taken, probably in the 1890s, her Suquamish and Duwamish people had been exiled to the Port Madison Reservation. White settlers renamed her Princess or Queen Angeline and built her a new home. The original title of this photo ("Queen Angeline and Her Palace") and subject of this photo are examples of the patronizing attitude often taken by white settlers towards Native people and their traditions.
Frank LaRoche took this photo, probably in the 1890s. Kikisoblu sits by her small wooden house on Elliott Bay. Before her death, in 1896, she had become one of Seattle's most photographed people.</p>
<p>Original copy negative.

Envelope reads: Queen Angeline - Carkeek.

Original photograph: LaRoche, Frank, 189-. Copied after 1902 by Webster &amp; Stevens, possibly from a photograph from the Carkeek family.</p>
