Abstract
"Kamiakin was the first to introduce irrigation to his people, learning about it from the Oblate fathers who founded St. Joseph's Mission at the Ahtanum in 1847. Kamiakin, who lived there it will be recalled insisted on leaving the Treaty Council so he could return to his gardens. With the war came the soldiers. In the spring of 1857, less than a year after the troops started building Fort Simcoe the 9th Infantry cultivated gardens and built a dam to provide irrigation water and a pond where ice could be cut for summer use."
