Cheshiahud (Cheslahud, Lake John Cheshiahud, or Chudups John) along with Princess Angeline and his family on Lake Union, Seattle, Washington, in the 1880s were among the few late-19th century Dkhw'Duw'Absh (people of the Duwamish tribe) about whom a little is known. In the University of Washington (UW) image archives, he is called Chudups John or Lake Union John. His family was one of the few of the Duwamish people who did not move from Seattle to the Port Madison Reservation or other reservations. He and his family lived on Portage Bay, part of Lake Union, when a lyrical photo was taken around 1885. According to the Duwamish Tribe, Lake John had a cabin and potato patch at the foot of Shelby Street (either West Montlake Park or Roanoke neighborhood, Portage Bay—sources are not specific. A commemorative plaque of unknown reliability is said to exist at the eastern foot of Shelby. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
