FDI - Puyallup

The Puyallup were sedentary coastal hunter/gatherers and relied heavily on fishing. They were located about the south end of Puget Sound at the mouth of the Puyallup River and along the neighboring coast including Carr Inlet and the southern portion of Vachon Island. They suffered from the White influx.
