Mud Bay church
The first Shaker Indian church (47°03′38″N 123°01′01″W / 47.0606°N 123.0170°W), also called the "mother church", was built near Olympia on a shoulder of the Black Hills above Mud Bay,[7] at the southern end of Eld Inlet, an arm of Puget Sound.[8][9][10][11] It was near the homes of Louis "Mud Bay Louie" Yowaluch (aka Mud Bay Louis) and his brother Sam "Mud Bay Sam" Yowaluch, co-founders of the church,[12] first and second "headman"s respectively. Mud Bay Sam was the first Bishop (church leader) after incorporation of Shaker Indian Church in 1910.[8]
The original church was oriented in an east-west direction, in a manner that would set the pattern for subsequent church architecture.[13] The earliest several churches were about 18-by-24-foot (5.5 m × 7.3 m) plain wooden buildings with 10-foot (3.0 m) shingle roofs, stout wooden doors and floors.[14] The Mud Bay church was rebuilt in 1910.[13]
