For the Nisqually a difference with Pioneers related to land ownership and borders. Theirs was open, for the Pioneers, it was fences. Once with a large population, the Nisqually Indian Tribe has but 588 members today. Over the years many died of Smallpox, Malaria and Cholera. Their language family was Salishan, that spoken is/was Whulshootseed. They
live today with other Nisqually, and descendants. While the History Farm, behind a visible fence, celebrates the Pioneers of 120 years ago and the Explorers of 240 years ago … the Nisqually Indian Tribe prospered here for 1,000s of years. By design, Nisqually are not included in mainstream America, their diversity not easily appreciated. Most are now surrounded by an invisible economic fence; look for them on 4,800 acres, on the Nisqually Indian Reservation, by/in Western Pierce County and eastern Thurston County.
The Nisqually! Do we tell the real story? Most accounts read the same: tried twice for the same crime that a judge declared was not a crime … fighting in a vain attempt to save the Camas fields that supplied the Indigenous winter carbohydrates and vitamins.
