DRAFT REPORT: Rights and Title Interests in the Columbia Valley Transmission Project Area Williams’s view, the settlement at Windermere was the last step in a gradual migration east that took a number of years. It is also their view that the Kinpasket family was accepted by the Ktunaxa and that they have lived peacefully together. 2.2.3 Ethnographic and Historical Data Relating to the Kinbasket Migration Additional information on the Kinbasket migration can be found in available ethnographic and historical literature, including information recorded directly from “Chief Kinbasket.” Some of this information was provided by Kinbasket family members, including Moses Kinbasket, 164 a son of Cassimir Kinbasket (brother of Chief Pierre) and uncle to Mrs. Dehart and Mrs. Williams. His information from the Kinbasket family’s oral history can be found in a newspaper article compiled by Revelstoke resident B.R. Atkins, likely around the 1920-1930s. 165 Moses Kinbasket related how his grandfather, identified there as “Peter” Kinbasket—but seemingly the same man identified by others as “Paul Ignatius Kinbasket”—had come “from near Kamloops” over to the Columbia headwaters “by way of Canoe River,” an event said to have occurred just prior to the birth of his first son around 1826. The old chief had died when Moses was about 4 years old (c. 1862). 166 In his account, “Peter” Kinbasket had first seen the upper Columbia country one summer when he had crossed the mountains to hunt, travelling east to near the present town of Golden. He thought it was a good winter hunting ground for his people. 167 Atkins includes also a summary of the historical literature in this article and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish information that is based on recorded fact from the author’s own conclusions. 168 Atkins writes that Peter Kinbasket claimed the salmon beds at Athalmer, and that 164 Moses Kinbasket was said to have been born in 1860 according to the 1911 Canada Census http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1911/pdf/e001937872.pdf. This date is likely rounded, for he gave his birth date to B.R. Atkins as 1858. 165 Benjamin Richard Atkins (b.1866-d.1941) lived in Revelstoke for 45 years, during which time he was a part-owner of The Kootenay Mail and compiled a local history entitled Columbia River Chronicles. Atkins n.d. [newspaper article] How Shuswap Indians Came to Kootenay. On file with the Kamloops Museum and Archives. File 31, Interior Salish – Miscellaneous. 166 The birth date was possibly rounded, and Moses may be off on how old he was at the time of his grandfather’s death. The Chief Kinbasket who met Walter Moberly in 1866 was likely this was Moses’s grandfather, “Peter,” elsewhere identified as Paul Ignatius Kinbasket. 167 Apparently in a 1928 article, Suzette Kinbasket, daughter of “Paul Nease” [Paul Ignatius Kinbasket] said that the Kinbasket used to hunt in the Columbia Valley and that her father accompanied his own father on trips here before they settled. The present authors have not seen this article which is cited in the April 2009 Fish Lake Consulting study prepared for the Shuswap Indian Band . 168 On the other hand, Atkins’s statement that the Arrow Lakes people (Sinixt), who he calls the “Senijextee,” “controlled Columbia from Colville to Big Bend” is confirmed by other sources.

DRAFT REPORT: Rights and Title Interests in the Columbia Valley Transmission Project Area Chief Kinbasket and his hunters periodically travelled east through “the ‘Shuswap’ pass” to hunt on the plains. 169 This seems to be a reference to the Athabasca Pass route. The neighbouring Ktunaxa made similar excursions, travelling east by way of Vermilion Pass situated farther south, about 60 kilometres east of Golden. Ethnographer James Teit in his 1909 published study of the Shuswap recorded the story of an historical migration of Shuswap people that occurred in the first half of the 19 th century. He tells how the North Thompson Chief “Kenpê’sket” [Kinbasket] led fifty or sixty friends to the head of the Columbia River “on the confines of the Kootenai Tribe.” 170 They made the trips, mostly with canoes, by way of Canoe River. On arriving at their destination, Teit reports, they made an alliance with the Stoney people of the Rocky Mountains against the Kutenai. While these Shuswap initially had close ties with their old homeland, Teit recorded that by his time (c.1900), little intercourse took place between these Kinbasket Shuswap and the rest of the Shuswapspeaking people. 171 Elsewhere in Teit’s monograph he writes that the Kinbasket Band’s ancestors came mostly from the Upper North Thompson Band, whom he called “people of the upper reaches,” or “those at the top” (named “Pesskalálten” ‘salmon place’), although some “belonged to the Lower North Thompson band, and a few to the Adams Lake and Shuswap Lake Bands”. 172 Former HBC servant and Indian Agent J.W. Mackay reported that the Kinbasket people were from the North Thompson and had followed a route—presumably overland—that reached the Columbia near the mouth of the Canoe River. 173 Discussing the tribal boundaries of the Plateau, Teit in his 1910-1913 “Notes to Maps of the Pacific Northwest,” prepared after publication of his 1909 Shuswap monograph, referred to the location of various bands of the Ktunaxa. In this context he discussed the Shuswap’s migration: I do not know if the Kootenay formerly extended any further north in the Columbia Valley.
