Nuwhaha
The Nuwhaha (; ) were a historical Lushootseed-speaking people in the Skagit River valley of Washington. The Nuwhaha primarily lived along the Samish River, as well as the coastal areas between Bay View and Bellingham. The Nuwhaha were a powerful and warlike people, but smallpox epidemics devastated them in the 18th and 19th centuries. Eventually, they were pushed inland by wars with the Samish people. In 1855, the Nuwhaha were a signatory to the Treaty of Point Elliott. Today, Nuwhaha descendants are members of the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, and the Samish Indian Nation. Although there is no distinct Nuwhaha entity today, some Nuwhaha descendants enrolled in federally recognized tribes still maintain their traditional identity as Nuwhaha. Name The Nuwhaha are also erroneously called the Upper Samish (and they should not be confused with the Samish people, who speak the North Straits language). Nuwhaha has also been spelled Nuwha ...
