Details

číčməhán (also Cheech-Ma-Ham or Chetzemoka). In 1808, a child was born at KaTai to Quah-Tum-A-Low and Lach-Ka-Nam, chief of the S'Klallam. He was named Cheech-Ma-Ham (or Chits-Ma-Han). Cheech-Ma-Ham was forty years old when the first white settlers arrived at Port Townsend, Washington. The settlers found his name difficult to pronounce so they changed it to Chetzemoka; and he was; given the "royal" nickname Duke of York. His son La-kaa-nim, was nicknamed Prince of Wales and his two wives were See-Hei-Met-za (nicknamed Queen Victoria) and Jenny Lind. His older brother, next in line to become chief, was called King George. King George was the quarrelsome type, unlike the diplomatic Duke. One day, after a disagreement, he packed up all his possessions and paddled off to board a ship for San Francisco, never to return.
