Born in the settlement, which is now the Seattle-based Rainier Beach area. The name Angelina was given to her at birth by Catherine Maynard, the wife of Dr. Maynard, a friend of the leader of Seattle. According to the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855 the duoVish tribe was supposed to move from their native lands to the reservation, but Angelina ignored him and remained in the city. She lived in a house overlooking the sea between Pike Street and Pine Street, and earned a living by washing clothes and weaving baskets, which she first sold herself, then began to make for the order of the antique shop Ye Olde Curiosity Shop , known for its rich collection Native American artifacts and existing to date (see illustration).

She was buried in Lake View Cemetery on Capitol Hill in Seattle. The newspaper Chronicle of Holy Names Academy reported her death:

The death of Princess Angelina . May 29, 1896. With the death of Angelina Seattle, the last of the direct descendants of the great Leader of Seattle, in whose honor this city was named, passed away. Angelina - Princess Angelina, as she was usually called - became a world celebrity ... She was recognized on the streets, bent, wrinkled, with a red scarf on her head and in a shawl, slowly waddling, leaning on a cane; often this poor Native American woman was seen sitting on the sidelines and sorting out her rosary. The kindness and generosity of the Seattle residents to the leader’s daughter ... was manifested in the funeral ceremony, which took place in the Church of Our Lady of Good Help. The church was beautifully decorated; on the hearse draped in mourning, the mortal remains of Princess Angelina rested in a coffin in the form of a canoe.

Several streets and a park in Seattle are named after her.
