Noun. [C1]

Examples

“A boatload of 37 Chinese arrived in Issaquah in the early 1870s willing to work⟳ for lower wages and provoked resentment among local pickers. A group of five whites and two Snoqualmies fired into Chinese tents at night, killing three and wounding three.”

“Patkanim represented his Indians, the Snoqualmies and Snohomishes; and Goliah the Skagits and others. Leschi and the Nisquallies did not interfere⟳, and it was well for them they did not, as the stronger tribes of the lower Sound⟳ would have⟳ resented such action, blood would have⟳ flown, and the Nisquallies would have⟳ been wiped out.”

“The Snoqualmies are said to have⟳ carried the designation "people of the moon,' and also "crowned with snow⟳." They believed themselves to have⟳ been transformed from the mythical Beaver. Unlike most other natives of the Puget Sound⟳ Basin, they were well organized, but such a degree of organization allowed less individual freedom for their people.”
