The Last Princess of Seattle: A Documented Historical Doll
Own a Legend: Rare Princess Angeline Commemorative Doll, Daughter of Chief Seattle – Documented History
The Legacy of Princess Angeline:
This beautiful, hand-crafted doll is a direct homage to Princess Angeline (Kikisoblu, 1820–1896), the eldest daughter of the revered Chief Seattle. While her people were relocated, Angeline chose to remain in the growing city named after her father, living out her days as a familiar and beloved figure to the early settlers and pioneers.
This doll is a tangible piece of that Northwest history, capturing her enduring presence. Her face is beautifully sculpted with the wisdom and solemnity of age, and she is dressed in the style of the early reservation era—a powerful reminder of her quiet dignity amidst a changing world.
The Emotional Connection:
The most remarkable feature is the original documentation tag attached to the doll. It tells her story: “Angeline Smith, the first daughter of Chief Seattle, was born about 1820 and died in 1896. She was a member of the Suquamish Tribe..." This authentic, attached history creates a sacred link to the past.
Imagine holding this doll, feeling the weight of the story of a woman who bridged two worlds, carrying the spirit of her people with her as she walked the shores of Puget Sound. The tiny papoose carried on her back symbolizes the continuous cycle of her culture, even as she became the last living tie to her father’s legacy in the settlement of Seattle.
