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