The Puyallup are a Native American tribe from western Washington state, U.S.A. They settled onto Reservation Lands in what is today Tacoma , Washington , in late 1854 , after signing the Treaty of Medicine Creek. The Puyallup tribe originally spoke the Puyallup Nisqually language of the Salishan family of languages spoken among Northwest Coast indigenous peoples. The tribe also runs the Chief Leschi School for young school-age tribal members. Bob Satiacum , well known in the 1960s and 1970s as an advocate of Native American rights, particularly treaty fishing rights, was a Puyallup tribal leader. |
