Noo-wha-ha
The Noo-wha-ha are a Native American tribe in what is now Washington State . Culturally they belong to the coastal Salish .
history
In 1855 they were as "Noo-wha-ah" signatories of the Treaty of Point Elliott , by which numerous Indian groups, which were referred to as "tribes" or "sub tribes" (tribes or sub-tribes), ceded their traditional areas to the United States and Reservations have been set up for them. However, the Noo-wha-ah were never recognized as an Indian tribe under the laws of the United States or Washington.
Pat-teh-us appears as the signatory of the contract, who is referred to there as "sub chief". He came from the area of what is now Bay View State Park on Padilla Bay in Skagit County , around 10 km west of Burlington .
