At the State Capital Museum, Wednesday, November 15, 2006 at NOON

Join historian Drew Crooks as he presents a slide-illustrated lecture featuring Chief Quiemuth, half-brother of Leschi and a strong Native American leader, who lived from 1800 to 1856. Quiemuth was appointed chief of the Nisqually Tribe by Governor Isaac Stevens, played an important role at the Medicine Creek Council and in the Puget Sound Indian War, and was later killed in the Olympia office of Governor Stevens. No one was ever brought to justice for the crime.

FREE with paid admission to the museum.
