'''Seattle''' ({{circa|1780~86}} – June 7, 1866; {{Langx|lut|siʔaɬ}}, {{IPA|lut|ˈsiʔaːɬ|ipa}}; usually styled as '''Chief Seattle''') was a leader of the [[Duwamish people|Duwamish]] and [[Suquamish]] peoples. A leading figure among his people, he pursued a path of accommodation to white settlers, forming a personal relationship with [[Doc Maynard]]. The city of [[Seattle]], in the U.S. state of [[Washington (state)|Washington]], was named after him. A widely publicized speech arguing in favor of ecological responsibility and respect for Native Americans' land rights had been attributed to him.
