My apologies for not adding an old story/ tidbit. Most of what I know involves the Secwepemc venturing east of the wall or Cree / Blackfoot venturing west.
Are you meaning the cabins are log and chinked with mud between the logs? Or are you meaning the cabins were boards and the cabins were full of mud?


The Secwepemc coming east of the rocks as a pretty big deal. They were quite a way into BC territory. After the Kootenaes were pushed west into the rocks they didn't even like coming 'out east' except when in need of buffalo.
