X was known by the Native Americans as Talol, or Tacoma, from the Lushootseed word meaning "mother of waters" spoken by the Puyallup. At the time of European contact, the river valleys and other areas near X were inhabited by many tribes who hunted and gathered berries in its forests and mountain meadows. These included the Nisqually, Cowlitz, Yakama, Puyallup, and Muckleshoot. Y was the first European to see X in 1792. He named it honor of his friend Rear Admiral ______. Y himself lent this name to an island and a now very big city a few hundred miles north-west of X.
