Chief Toke

Chief Toke was a leader of the Shoalwater Bay Tribe of Native Americans on the Pacific coast of Washington. Of Chinook and Chehalis descent,[1] he lived with his wife Suis and extended family at Willapa Bay,[2] spending winters near present-day Bay Center and summers in the vicinity of present-day Tokeland, which is named for him.[1]

James G. Swan, a settler in the area from 1852 to 1855,[2][1] described Toke as "a man of advanced years."[3]
