DRAFT REPORT: Rights and Title Interests in the Columbia Valley Transmission Project Area Frank: Well, what I heard about my grandfather -- his name was old Louis Paul, and he belonged to the Colville reservation 114 . And years ago when the Hudson's Bay Company and the other companies that come into the country first dealing in furs and gold and other things, you know, horses, they had trouble in that... one of those ports there in Colville, Washington, somewhere in (name). And there was a kind of a battle between the Indians and the whites. And that's where my grandfather got chased and he was just a young boy then. And they chased him down the Columbia right down into the Okanagan Falls, you know, near Kettle Falls in Washington. And they jumped into the river from there -- there's quite a rapid in there. That's what they call the rapids there at the Okanagan Falls, not the Okanagan Falls but Kettle Falls. And they swam down quite a ways into somewhere around (name). Well then they lost him there. From there just straight over into the Penticton country and from there he crossed over into the Cranbrook country. Oh, it took him months and months to get there. He was on the Canadian side then. And then from there he settled in the Kootenay country at Athalmere where he got acquainted with a woman and married there. That's where my father was born then. You see how he got away was in war with those... Well, it was the dealers, you know, fur dealers and everything. There was trouble in the camps so they started to fight, you know, amongst the war, like, you know. And that's how my father got away, you know, jumped in the river and swam about two, three miles down the river until they lost track of him, you know. And then he straight over into Canada and he never went back ever since. And my dad was born there around Windermere and growed up and then us, the other generations. And my grandfather died at Windermere, Athalmere. Never went back. So that's where I originate from, from the States like, you know,into Canada. And on that same reserve -- they call the Little Shuswap Reserve [at Windermere Lake] -- there's about four tribes of Indians in that one little reserve. There's the Okanagan, the Shuswap, and there's the Kootenay and the Stoneys all mixed in there. They getting the women folks, marrying them, and settling in there. 115 The Shuswap Indian Band’s April 2009 study, prepared by Fish Lake Consulting, notes the following 116 : “Winnifred Ariel Weir also identified that Paul Ignatius Kinbasket knew David Thompson, in her book ‘Tales of the Windermere’ (1980)”[reference given as pp. 122-123 of 114 Washington State. 115 Available online: http://dspace.cc.uregina.ca/dspace/bitstream/10294/884/1/IH-BC.58.pdf; we have not had the opportunity to check the transcript for accuracy. 116 Fish Lake Consulting, on behalf of the Shuswap Indian Band 2009, page 19.

DRAFT REPORT: Rights and Title Interests in the Columbia Valley Transmission Project Area Weir’s book]. 117 It should be noted that the author cited, W.W. Weir, presents on these quoted pages a reconstructed conversation she imagines may have occurred. In the conversation between Marianne (wife of Pierre Kinbasket) and her granddaughter, Rosie Kinbasket, the older woman mentions Chief “Gelhulnah” and how he had come from Adams Lake “where the Kinbaskets had had their teepees for more years than you can count.” The fictional conversation then notes that Paul Ignatius Kinbasket knew David Thompson. Then it states that the old chief, “Gelhulnah,” first brought his son, Paul, to the area in 1819, after which they returned to the west. Weir sums up the narrative by writing: “Chief Paul Ignatius Kinbasket had brought his people from the Shuswap Lake country in the 1850s, travelling through the Big Bend country of the Columbia to settle finally in the Windermere Valley. 118 Fish Lake Consulting concludes that the evidence provided by these pages of the Weir book confirm that the Kinbaskets were in the Columbia Valley before the time Thompson left the country in 1812. 119 Assertions that the Kinbasket Shuswap people met David Thompson or accompanied him to Astoria are not supported in the pertinent historical record. Both Thompson’s journal and in his Narrative, he is explicit on the identity of the people who accompanied him. Thompson had no reason to conceal or misrepresent the identity of the Aboriginal people with whom he engaged in trade or hired for various tasks, including the responsibilities of guiding and interpreting. Indeed, it was an important part of Thompson’s job, and that of other fur traders, to know the identity and habits of the region’s Aboriginal occupants. Thompson did not report meeting Shuswap people either at Boat Encampment or in the Columbia Valley. While the fur trade resulted in the depletion of fur bearing animals on the east side of the mountains in the early 19 th century, hunters described the productivity of the Columbia River in glowing terms. It was like having a “sack of provisions,” Thompson’s Narrative reports concerning the productivity of the upper Columbia region. And so numerous were the animals that the weight of their feet had worn a wide, foot-deep trail in the mountain pass. 120 Thompson reports in his journal that Iroquois and other Free Hunters harvested this game. The richness of the animal life in the upper Columbia Valley and the headwaters of the Columbia, as well as the mountains surrounding them, prompted David Chance to speculate that the area had been sparsely inhabited in the decades just preceding 1800. 121 It is the position of the Shuswap Indian Band, as set out in their TUS study, that the fur trade may have prompted their people’s 117 Winnifred A. Weir (1980). Tales of the Windermere. W.W. Weir: Invermere. 118 Weir 1980, page 122. The additional statement on the timing of the Kinpasket migration—“the 1850s”—is not included in the April 2009 Fish Lake Consulting study. 119 Fish Lake Consulting, on behalf of the Shuswap Indian Band , 2009, page 19. 120 Glover 1962, page 382. 121 Chance 1981, page 9.
