Kikisoblu was born about 1820 as the eldest daughter of Chief Si'ahl of the Suquamish and Duwamish tribes in what is now Rainier Beach, Washington. Her English name was Angeline. Although the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855 required that all Duwamish people leave their land for Indian reservations, Kikisoblu remained in Seattle in a waterfront cabin on Western Avenue between the Pike and Pine Streets, near today's Pike Place Market. She wove baskets and sold them to the residents of Seattle. Like her father, she converted to Christianity, and was a Roman Catholic until she died on 31 May 1896. [1][2]
