"I propose that there is an interesting relationship between the kinds of things people talk about in contemporary communities and the kinds of things considered important to discuss about their historical past. I hope to identify what these culturally constructed categories are. This will hopefully provide a richer understanding of some fundamental cultural issues may be achieved. This understanding may be intuitive for the participants in a particular culture, but is not necessarily obvious for an outsider (such as the anthropology student). 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 (or in your case the reader) may gain a broader understanding about important cultural issues in contemporary and historic Stó:lo society. However, my interpretations of these issues are also culturally constructed. My ethnographic stories are only partial truths which provide one of many ways that these stories and life experiences can be interpreted."
