White Grizzly Bear's Legacy

"Lawney Reyes, grandson of Pic Ah Kelowna or White Grizzly Bear of the Sin Aikst, relates the history of his family and his people. The Sin Aikst are now known as the Lakes tribe, absorbed into the Colville Confederated Tribes of eastern Washington. And where Kettle Falls once flowed and the Sin Aikst once fished are places that exist now only in memory, flooded when the Grand Coulee Dam was completed in 1941. Reyes blends personal and family history with an account of the larger forces that have confronted all Native Americans: displacement, acculturation, and the potent force of self-renewal."--BOOK JACKET.
