"I propose that there is an interesting relationship between the issues which permiate contemporary communities and the things considered important to discuss about their historical pasts. I hope to identify what some of the relationships are between the stories people tell from their past and their contemporary concerns. This will hopefully provide a richer understanding of some fundamental cultural issues in Coast Salish society. This understanding may be intuitive for the participants in a particular culture, but is not necessarily obvious for an outsider (such as the anthropologist). By providing circumstantial accounts of how people talk about their own lives, and narratives about the life of this particularly important individual, we the listeners may gain a broader understanding about important cultural issues in contemporary and historic Stó:lo society."
