You did a fine job of posting on GoDot's page--I think you've pretty much got the hang of editing Wikipedia! --Lukobe 17:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Citing your work
Hi. I did not initially find a reply page for you, so this now.

Friday 28 July At nearly the same time as your post, I was doing editing that answers some of your questions. Have a look at Duwamish (tribe) (People and History), and Cheshiahud. See also Talk:Cheshiahud. Regarding Chilohleet'sa (Madelline) and Tleboletsa (Madeline), I suspect that, early Shirly Temple style, Whites called too many Native individuals John, Tom, or Madeline, respectively, rather than dealing with understanding language and culture. Besides, the time frames for Chilohleet'sa and Tleboletsa seem to overlap (unless as one person, she was one really hot grandma. {"Goes to show you never can tell" [Emmylou Harris].)

PS: In your "SkEba'kst and Cka'lapsEb, History of Seward Park", paragraphs about Cheshiahud and the battle repeat shortly before the section heading, 'Pioneers on Southwest Lake Washington" ; )`

Monday 7 August If you wish, please critique Cheshiahud. I discovered an attributed section of Cheshihud was a paste rather than a rewrite (D'Oh. I didn't realize your hint, either.  I apologize). I edited it, but is it sufficient? Please let me know. People copy from the 'net shamelessly, but Wikipedia is high profile, so I'd prefer to be sure with what's okay by you.

(2) For which end of Shelby where Cheshiahud & Tleboletsa lived, have you any source(s) that clearly locate? There is said to be a plaque (see Cheshiahud article). Land gifted or bought? Either would be ironic, gifted supremely so, since in my research it appears the Duwamish people received nothing but words for their leaders accepting the Treaty of Point Elliott.

(3) The UW Libraries: Digital Collections is a useful resource. Once in a while, the catalog notes have descriptions or clues.

(4) Duwamish site may be sacred, but it's slated for development
 * Tuesday, September 04, 2001 : Local News
 * For the Duwamish, the center of the universe is in the heart of Tukwila's industrial zone, a drab little hill that is the setting for one of the oldest stories told by early Puget Sound people. But the family that now owns the hill wants to dynamite it and build warehouses or office buildings there...
