Much of the language in this article currently uses phrases like 'unjust'. Maybe these treaties were, but we should be citing someone who presents this view rather than stating it as a direct fact - the current phrasing of the article distracts from the core message. 98.117.140.229 ( talk) 13:36, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Articles of agreement and convention made and concluded at Muckl-te-oh, or Point Elliott, in the territory of Washington, this twenty-second day of January, eighteen hundred and fifty-five, by Isaac I.

Does anyone have a source for the meaning of the abbreviation "L.S."? "Longhand Signature"?

Text of the treaty had been edited (typos fixed), it had been annotated, it was cross-referenced within the article, and is linked. Images of the official treaty accompanied the treaty in the article.
The illustrations add visual interest as well verisimilitude. There are images somewhere of the handwritten, nib pen original as well. Displaying an image of an original page with the signatures could be cool.

I think it probably still belongs in WikiSource. -- Lukobe 17:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
A source document could; links to the best Wikipedia:Reliable sources found are provided in the article. There are numerous sources readily available already. The modified text is also useful within the article as well, since the point of the article is an integrated, summary analysis (admittedly provisional so far). For now (pending analyses of other treaties in the series), it and the article are an approximately representative sample of the series. This initial draft article is intended to support the main article Duwamish (tribe) (hence the requests for expansion), but its scope is a little broad to name this as an article of Duwamish (tribe). This article is also intended to support the summaries in History of Seattle before 1900, while standing on its own as well. -- GoDot 03:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
