	Duwamish River
		The Duwamish River is the name of the lower reach of Washington state's Green River.
		At one time, the Green, Black[?], and White[?] Rivers joined to form the Duwamish; however, in 1907 the White River was diverted into the Puyallup[?].
		The Duwamish Waterway empties into Elliott Bay[?] in Seattle, divided by the man-made Harbor Island[?] into two channels, the East and West Waterways.

	Duwamish National Historic Landmark Nomination (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As built in 1909, Duwamish was a riveted steel-hulled vessel 120 feet in length, with a 28-foot beam, and a 9.6-foot depth of hold.
		Duwamish's twin screws were originally driven by double vertical (compound) marine steam engines, with 4 Mosher watertube boilers which propelled the vessel to a maximum speed of 10-1/2 knots.
		It is claimed that Duwamish is the most powerful fireboat in terms of the amount and force of water she is capable of deploying, which while difficult to substantiate seems likely given the trend for smaller delivery on more modern fireboats, including the most recently built in the 1980s.

	Introduction
		The spatial distribution of Eurytemora americana in the Duwamish River estuary was investigated in April, 1996.
		The Duwamish River estuary is a temperate, tidally influenced system supporting a wide variety of life (from salmonids and Dungeness crabs and other shellfish to the higher trophic levels of birds and marine mammals).
		It is suspected to reside in the turbidity maximum zone between the fresh and marine water layers throughout the salt wedge (in the high salinity gradient layer) or in the lower marine layer.

	HistoryLink Essay:Duwamish Tribe wins federal recognition on January 19, 2001, but loses it again two days later.
		The Duwamish, including Chief Seattle (178?-1866), for whom Seattle is named, were among the signers of the Point Elliott treaty, signed on January 22, 1855, and ratified by the United States Senate in 1859.
		Chief Seattle and other members of the Duwamish Tribe greeted white settlers when they arrived in 1851, and provided guides, canoe transportation and other aid (labor for Henry Yesler's first sawmill, potatoes that the Duwamish grew near Renton), which enabled the settlers to survive and to thrive.
		The Duwamish signers of the Point Elliott Treaty were Chief Seattle, and Duwamish sub-chiefs Ts'huahntl, Now-a-chais, and Ha-seh-doo-an.

	Coastal America: Project Summary - Duwamish River Estuary Intertidal Wetlands
		The Duwamish River provides a passageway to the inland portions of the state, and thus has been an area of heavy industrial development.
		The developmental history of the Duwamish Estuary has resulted in the loss of approximately 98% of its former intertidal marshes and mudflats.
		These habitats are critical to juvenile salmon and many other species of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife, and their loss represents a serious threat to the ecological integrity of both the Duwamish River Estuary and the greater Puget Sound.

		A historical Duwamish tribe was described as consisting of the Indians living at the confluence of the Black, Cedar, and Duwamish Rivers south of Lake Washington, as well as along the Green and White Rivers, around Lake Washington, and along the eastern shore of Puget Sound in the area of Elliott Bay.
		The existence of a Duwamish community at a traditional location near the junction of the Black and Cedar Rivers was identified by external observers as late as 1900.

	Congressman Jim McDermott - Speeches - Duwamish Tribe Deserve Recognition
		The Duwamish and Chinook tribes in the State of Washington went through the entire process in the Department of the Interior.
		The President signed the order creating this relationship with the Chinooks and the Duwamish, and when the new administration came in, one of the very first things they did was reach back into the desk drawer and wipe out the Duwamish tribe.

		Considered by many to be the "industrial breadbasket" of King County, the Duwamish River corridor hosts one of the largest manufacturing and industrial centers in the state and provides jobs for more than 67,000 people.
		The legacy of a century of urbanization and industrial development along the Duwamish has been the degradation of water quality and sediment quality, and the associated loss of wildlife habitat and resource use.
		This is a significant net benefit to the health of the waterway, the people who live, work and play on the Duwamish, the natural resources that reside in and along the banks of the waterway, and to tribal and recreational fishers.

		The partnership between the Duwamish Tribe and MOHAI represents a classic win-win partnership between nonprofit organizations whereby MOHAI and the Tribe address common ground in their missions to tell the Duwamish Story and increase visibility.
		Ironically, the Duwamish Tribe, whose Chief Seattle was the first signer of the Point Elliott Treaty, has been denied federal recognition and remains landless even after 150 years, while some of the casino tribes did not even sign the 1855 Treaties but received reservations nonetheless.
