Description
"The strong people shows how the strength, determination, and wisdom that our S'Klallam ancestors exhibited in the years following the Treaty of Point No Point allowed the generations that followed to make positive changes in the community. We hope this history will help the current generation of S'Klallams to understand how important it was that their ancestors never became faint of heart, never gave up on their protests about the unfairness of treaty promises not kept by the U.S. government, and never left the lands where their dead were buried. With this book's explanation of our history, we can all be proud of how we have survived and carried on the values and traditions of the "strong people". Ron Charles, former Port Gamble S'Klallam Chairman"--P. [4] of cover.
