Denied a place on their ancestral lands, the original Snake River-Palouse people were forced to scatter, and maintaining their cultural identity became increasingly difficult. Still, elders passed down oral histories. Beginning in the 1970s, Naxiyamt???ma elders shared their stories with a research team. They hoped to teach American Indian history in a traditional manner and refute incorrect versions. In the process, multiple themes emerged--spirituality tied to the Creator and environment, a covenant relationship and sacred trust to protect and preserve traditional lands, storytelling as a revered art form that reveals life lessons, and belief in cyclical time and blood memory. The featured elders had ties to Plateau people's leadership families. They had lived in the traditional way, participated in the ancient W???shani religion, and honored the Creator through First Food ceremonies. River Song endeavors to capture their original voices and remain true to Snake River-Palouse oral traditions.
