“It is important to have Leschi portrayed correctly so that the future, our children, have a true sense of where they come from. They should inherit and feel the strength, pride, tenacity and intelligence that Leschi left us.” - Cynthia Iyall, speaking on the importance of her ancestor’s, Chief Leschi’s, exoneration in a bio by the Washington State History Museum.
