[edit] Been meaning to write these for a while, Frederick

And sorry I hadn't; partly because I'm intimidated by the story and partly because I don't currently have any of the books describing it on-hand, so was wary of putting in wrong details and not having dates 'n' stuff. But now that it's a stub it's a starting point; someone also created a Klattasine article. Don't forget you can add/create articles, too, so if you think there should be an article on Anahim or Alexis (the chiefs, as well as the communities) you can start them, too. BTW I'm more focussed on Lillooet-area history....any chance you might share some of the Chilcotin version of the story of the war between the Chilcotins and the Lillooets in the early 19th Century (or thereabouts)?? Such as the reason for the attacks on Blackwater, Seton and Pemberton Meadows which started the war, and the Chilcotin version of the wars' ending at Graveyard Valley (supposedly). If not here, you can "email this user" from the links at left and send me a private note. Thankx. Also, any stories about a Lillooet named Chief Hunter Jack - apparently he was the first St'at'imc to learn to speak Tsilhqot'in and brokered the end to the war; his hunting turf verged into Big Creek/Taseko so I imagine he had Chilcotin acquaintances/friends and visited up there; be grateful of any stories about him (quite the character, y'see)Skookum1 22:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
