Chief Toke

Chief Toke: Chief Toke lived in the vicinity of what is now Tokeland, Washington, along the Pacific coast of Washington. He was of Chinook/Chehalis stock, and spent his summers in the area of land that now bears his name.

James G. Swan, a traveller in the area in 1852/1853, describes him as "a man of advanced years."^[1]
