"Cowichans" vs. Suquamish
- The Puget Sound Indians, not normally organized above the level of individual bands, formed a confederation under Kitsap to strike against the Cowichan Tribes of southeast Vancouver Island, who often raided the Puget Sound. However, Kitsap's flotilla was no match for the larger canoes of the Cowichans; after suffering heavy losses in the sea battle, the Puget Sound Indians were forced to retreat. Kitsap was one of the few survivors of this ill-fated expedition.
"alliance of Cowichan-area tribes" is more accurate; the link is to an "Indian Act govarnment", there was and is no 'Cowichan peop[le' ethnographically and also in that time period 'Cowichan' was used to mean everyone from the Tsouke and Songhees to the Chilliwacks and Skwxwu7mesh/Shishalh and Penelakuts and Sneneymux...what's the actual text from the source pls? Does it just say Cowichan or does it specify the Cowichan Valley area/? Skookum1 (talk) 05:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
