Abstract
"Jim Kanine. Mid Columbia. Cemeteries, fisheries. Two or three miles from Wallula, where trail led to Nez Perce country. It was called smoking pot, where things were discussed before coming together. It was marked by big rock. Three Feathers came there to talk. Back of Wallula three Nez Perce are buried. Kanine, a Walla Walla. His paternal grandparents are buried there. 'Let them lie there,' he told Army Engineers, at Pendleton, Tribal council, July 15, 1949. Willia Wocatsie: 'I know that when we pass on our mortals turn to earth and as long as we exist by the water, let those of us who may return to the water. It is the Creator's will."
