Abstract

"Noc Noc sat, talking. She used her language, more expressively unfolding the history of the new caught salmon and first dug roots feast, called cow e it. 'This I wish to say before my days run out, before the river, now dirtied and full of suckers and carp grows even older than when I was young and it was clear and cold.' She told how the salmon feast, held each spring, will be repeated today, Sunday, worship day. This year it will be in the Wapato Long House a few miles southeastwardly from Ah Wa Tum."
