A few notes from a native Puget Sounder... Yes, the Duwamish River is named after the Duwamish tribe. Lots and lots of place names around here are named for the tribes that lived near them. The second note. The Google link takes you to the "How can you buy or sell the sky" speech, which has been attributed to Chief Seattle (Sealth, to be more correct). This speech is widely considered to be a fabrication. Very strangely, the best site I found about it is from Australia. See http://library.trinity.wa.edu.au/issues/seattle.htm

But isn't the river named after the Duwamish tribe? I wasn't familiar with Talisker whiskey, but I'll have to try that :)

Duwamish (the books sample) was actually named after a small river near campus. Somewhat smaller than another river used by a somewhat larger book seller.

I learned about single malt whiskies after I looked up the meaning of Talisker (Windows CE 4 or .NET). Even now Talisker is my favorite :) I am going to try to put together a wiki for creating a canonical list of all Microsoft codenames. I wonder if Microsoft Bob had a codename.
