Bullshit about 50% death rate. Saying it doesn't make it so. You speak on our behalf and lie about our history. There is NO need to tell untruths. The figure is closer to ten percent, and if that doesn't make the whites ashamed, why do you think fifty will.

The Shuswap are a good people. There is no need to exaggerate as you have.

Peace is only a treasure when anger was not the goal. No, our spirits don't speak English, but neither do they speak Mohawk or Sioux or Seneca. They speak truth, or they should not speak, at all.
