Elders' Biographies

“When I was a young child I remember people used to travel around the mountains during the winter. In the summer they fished in the rivers. Down the river, in the spring, they hunted for muskrat. When muskrat season was over, everybody headed for town and stayed for a while. Then everybody went out on the land to fish.”
