The Haida also rowed down from Northern BC and attacked Whidbey Island in WA State to take revenge for one of their chiefs that was murdred.
From the US National Park Service:
"Isaac Ebey died suddenly and violently at age 39. In 1857 a party of Haida from Canada selected him to be a "chief for a chief," the man who would die in retribution for the murder by whites of one of their chiefs, or "tyee," the previous year. On a summer evening in August a group of Haida knocked on Isaac's door and drew him out of the house. Without warning they shot him, hacked off his head for a trophy, and dumped his body in the front yard. . . "
The Haida were tough guys.
