MOURNING DOVE SYMPOSIUM thetribaltribune.com -> Tribal News -> General QUINTASKET from A1

Armstrong asking her, ‘Why do you want to write about Mourning Dove?’ with a lot of conviction in her tone and gaze. Truth of the matter was, the family knew she’d be coming too, to ask about Mourning Dove. Charlie Quintasket and his sister Mary Lemery were probably a part of that welcoming group. Dr. Brown and Mr. Favrholdt tracked Mourning Dove’s movements from Bonners Ferry to Kelly Hill, Kettle Falls, Pia Mission, Ward, Omak, Penticton, Great Falls, Portland, Calgary, Flathead country, her travels were extensive and not easy to follow. All along her desire was to publish, not only a collection of Coyote stories, but a novel. Finally, in Walla Walla she met Lucullus V. McWhorter, who she was told could give her direction to publication. Through his inluence, it took several years, but she did get Cogewea published, though much of it sounded like McWhorter’s voice. McWhorter wrote books about the Yakamas and Yellowwolf, the Nes Perce. Mourning Dove had married three times but had no children of her own. Dr. Armstrong was keynote speaker for Thursday, she talked exclusively about chap’tiqw, which translates to stories about Coyote, his antics and what they mean to the people. Many of the stories actually give credence to our way of life, who we are and where we belong in the world. “That chap’tiqw not only created the law, it is the law,” she said. In our stories, Coyote knew no boundaries. He neither knew what was right nor wrong until he got himself in trouble, sometimes bailed out by Fox, and then he pretended he knew what he was doing all along. He got himself in to a millennia of trouble, but that’s what we as human beings do too, and then we try to correct ourselves hoping it’s not too late. That’s the messages we should learn from Mourning Dove’s Coyote Stories book and go on from there. “Just as our stories have gone on and on, as the old ones would say, and those of us raised in a household where the stories were told in our languages, with sound effects that gives character and action to the animals, we wish our next generation could experience this too. Many of our youth are easily distracted by movies, music and other outside inluences to actually witness that which had once given us knowledge, Indian laws, laughter and identity. Maybe that is why they lose themselves and the proper way of growing up and conducting their lives. They need chap’tiqw back in their lives to be whole again. Not only that, but the land, too, needs to hear the stories again to heal itself.” Mourning Dove was alive back in the day ‘it wasn’t cool to be indigenous.’ Her parentage included Joe Quintasket, Okanogan Indian, and Lucy Stui’kin, Colville and Lakes. Her paternal grandfather’s blood also included Hudson’s Bay Co., which is thematic for Cogewea, an Indian Romeo and Juliet story. But there’s a lot of prejudice and hostility geared toward the half blood characters. Not only by other Indians but government oficials and ‘American’ townspeople too. This book tells the story that has impacted generations of people not only during Mourning Dove’s era, but some of ours as well. Eventually, Christine Quintasket entered the world of Colville Indian politics and became one of the irst female council members. She was elected in the Omak district back in the advent of our constitution and bylaws in the 1930s. Some of her contemporaries might have been Paschal Sherman, John Cleveland, Alex Covington, Henry Covington, Louie Runnels, Frank George, Dick Armstrong and the like. Friday’s panels at the Omak Longhouse detailed some of the contemporary native writers and publications. Also, Wendell George and Loretta Watt of Omak recited a couple coyote stories from their catalogs and publications. Andy Joseph, Sr. who’d also published a collection of legends recently also dazzled the crowd with an onslaught of his stories. At a future date a new plaque with a little more information on Christine Mourning Dove Quintasket will be dedicated to replace an old generic that rests upon her grave now. This will be announced later in the spring.

In Freidlander Meadows, there are fences and the herd with the grulla mare is found, ironically perhaps, behind the fences. When driven towards, they shy away and act wild — but not so much they cannot be approached to a hundred feet. The grulla mare, as of November, was swollen and swaybacked in new pregnancy and square in her curiosity. There is a round bale in the meadows, dropped off by CTFW’s Mitigation Program, who has worked regularly with Range in capturing horses from Hellgate. Two years ago, Range provided inancial incentives to horse chasers, however, the horses brought in were primarily colts and yearlings. Stockyards require horses to weigh 800 pounds at the sale and to raise the smaller stock to that size would be to place unrealistic costs onto Range. In another attempt to increase horse catcher efforts, in Special Session Oct. 21, Colville Business Council passed a resolution put forth by Range extending the season to capture wild horses from three months to nine. Of course, the Range riders do capture horses as JUSTUS CAUDELL/Tribune well, and when they do, they hold them in the corrals Jackie Marchand’s colt, named Jaegarmeister, is an adopted wild horse from BIA Range and CTFW. “He’s at Nespelem’s Agency Campus before shipping them a bit snorty,” said Marchand. to horse buyers — or if they are large enough to the stockyards. Three years ago, with the incentives, Range received several wild horses so even their range horses started acting spooky — said Angel Vargas, he separated his saddle horse from the corral after having to rope it one day. Too, the horses are always available for adoption, and some horses do adopt out; recently Jackie Marchand adopted a colt that she said within a couple weeks she planned to halter. The studs Range captures, they castrate. Said CTFW Biologist Rose Piccinini, “The horses are a Range problem and a Fish and Wildlife concern.” A census of the population, said Piccinini, would give a precise understanding of the effects of the horses on both JUSTUS CAUDELL/Tribune rangeland and wildlife habitat. Four wild horses run through a ield near Buffalo Lake in Nespelem on Tuesday, Nov. 26. As with big game numbers, the lights will provide a baseline that will give the Tribes a place from which to work. A drive around the game reserve inds dozens within From Voyage to the Northwest Coast by Gabriel Franchére: sight of the road — two herds on The Sand Hills, one of which is run by a big paint stud.
