The far left Seattle is named for native Chief Se’alth.

He was known to take raiding parties across Puget Sound to Bainbridge and Whidbey Islands for the purpose of raising villages and bringing captured back for his tribe's slavery.

Yet, the city is still named for him and his statue remains standing

But. . .but. . .but. . .when I took a class in the State Department, had a Black female in the class. She was new hire in State and always wore that colorful tent African American Females were wearing all the time. . .and the headdress, too.

I went to Africa many times, and especially South Africa (DOD stuff). I knew from my travels that the average Black female in South Africa did not wear that garb, the locals considered that akin to some just-off-the-farm girl in bib-overalls and a straw hat. She was going to South Africa and had no clue how much of an idiot the locals would consider her to be.

I tried to warn her but she literally sneered at me (I was DOD after all), but she insisted this was traditional garb suitable for wearing in the big city offices in places like Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg, etc.
