They were essentially teepee'
dwelling nomads, highly skilled
in fishing, hunting and war and
slender and athletic in appear-
ance with fine lips and noses.
Were Great Hunters

Their hunting and fishing meth?
ods were not too far divorced
from modern methods with the
exception of the primitive arms
used. Fresh water salmon, a sta-
ple item of their diet, were caught
in bag-type and weighted nets
although individuals used spears
with detachable heads and hooks
of bone and line of Indian hemn.
The catches were then slit and
smoked by the squaws for winter

use.

For hunting, the skilled stalk-
er used a leaf between his teeth
to imitate the call of a fawn, or
a hallow bone or sunflower stem
to attract a moose or elk. Highly
trained dogs, then as now, were
the hunter’s indispensable com-
panions.

Cooking of meat, fish, and
roots and berries was done by
the squaws in large pit ovens,
two or three feet deep and lined
with stones, in which a fire was
built and the food steamed in the
fashion of a New England clam
bake.

The Salish were a stone age
people, as is attested by the ar-
row and spear heads, corn grind-
ers, Scrapers, and other tools

found in this district. _ They were,

nue has been opened up.

ing investigated.

A second-hand oil-stove is to
be purchased for the public

Indian Childhood

The childhood of the young Sa-
lish was relatively carefree and
easy although the parents at-
tempted to train their children to
become honorable and respected
members of their, group. Hardi-
hood of body, stoicism under suf-
fering and eo complete honesty were
encouraged.

Rules of | moral conduct, were
for specific reasons such “as “it' js
bad to’ steal because people will
not havé you in their house” or
“it is bad to be-quarrelsome be-
cause friends will avoid you and
your wife will not stay, in your
house.”

Both’ boys and girls were care-
fully instructed in the duties 6f

ermen, and craftsmen trained the
boys..in their skills, .while the
girls were introduced to simple
domestic tasks at’ an “early age;
