Abstract
"The first Salmon festival in which I had occasion to participate was in 1907. My father, George Saluskin, Aleck Shawaway, John Wlidman, Charley Washington, Pool-oot-kin and many others fished at Ahwatum. As a boy about 11, I carried the salmon to the home of my grandfather, Chief Saluskin. There the women took full charge of preparing them for the feast. Many people came to the feast, to rejoice at the first catch of any young fisherman or to thank the Great Maker of all things, in accordance with the religious beliefs and teachings of the people."
