On most of the earlier maps the spelling was "Snoqualmoo." The river joins with the Skykomish River near Monroe, forming the Snohomish River. The white men have softened the native word Sdoh-kwahlb-bhuh; which refers to the legend that their people came from the moon. Sdoh-kwahlb means moon. (Charles M. Buchanan, Indian Agent at Tulalip, in Names MSS. Letter 155.) Colonel J. Patton Anderson visited the falls in July, 1852. He was accompanied by Lieutenant Floyd Jones, of the United States Infantry Only one white man had visited them before that. (James G.

They believed themselves to have been transformed from the mythical Beaver. Unlike most other natives of the Puget Sound Basin, they were well organized, but such a degree of organization allowed less individual freedom for their people. 10 December 2023 Noun * s A member of an indigenous Coast Salish people of North America native to the Snoqualmie River Snoqualmie and Skykomish River Skykomish river valleys of central Washington.
