Introduction Commencement Bay has a long history of industrial development, which has leant Tacoma its moniker “City of Destiny” as well as its notoriety as the home of the “Tacoma aroma.” This development has also shaped Tacoma’s current shoreline and overall appearance. Originally, the shoreline was primarily an expanse of tideflats and estuaries, with large shellfish and seabird populations and important salmon habitat. The tideflats have for thousands of years supported tribes such as the Puyallup, and more recently the region’s abundant natural resources and the deep waters of the bay enticed Western settlement. In spite of the 1854 Treaty of Medicine Creek, which supposedly granted the Puyallup the rights to the tideflats at the mouth of the Puyallup River, development by Western settlers quickly overtook the local landscape.

  • IN a FAMILIAR YET FOREIGN LAND the Life and Memories of Henry Sicade, 1866–1938 by Cary C
    WashingtonHistory.org IN A FAMILIAR YET FOREIGN LAND The Life and Memories of Henry Sicade, 1866–1938 By Cary C. Collins ed. COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2005: Vol. 19, No. 2 Edited and with an introduction by Cary C. Collins, compiled by Oscar H. Jones Pathbreakers can emerge from collisions between seemingly opposing societies. These rare persons transcend their own circumstances to grasp the advantages and opportunities brought forth by the transforming encounter. Historian Margaret Connell Szasz has described these individuals as "cultural brokers," those who step confidently between divergent worlds, integrating the cultures and values of both. Puyallup tribal leader Henry Sicade may never have perceived of himself as a cultural broker, but he filled that role in many ways. Sicade was born in 1866, only a decade following the negotiation of the treaties of land cession that so irrevocably altered the course of Indian history in the Pacific Northwest. His life spanned the years of settlement and assimilation. Despite the obstacles that confronted him as an Indian living in the early 20th century, Sicade managed to embrace aspects of non-Indian culture and still retain his Puyallup identity. He aggressively and successfully utilized American institutions as a vehicle to propel himself, his family, and his tribe toward a better life while at the same time preserving and strengthening the cultural traditions of the Puyallup people. In 1873, just before his seventh birthday, Sicade enrolled in the Puyallup Indian School at Fife, near Tacoma. Seven years later he transferred to the first off-reservation boarding school west of the Mississippi, the Forest Grove Indian and Industrial Training School in Forest Grove, Oregon (now the Chemawa Indian School at Salem).
