"Lost In The Fraser" - We have always lived by the Sto:lo (Fraser River). It has fed us for all time. It was our main highway. We are taught to respect the river. It has taken many lives.
There is a story that came to me. When someone falls in the river and can't get out, they are taken by people to the bottom of the river, in a village far below lives a people, and they will take care of the one who fell in.
In the water they are in the human form, when they come out of the water they are in the form of sturgeon. There are no words that can be said to the family of the loved one. This story serves as a small medicine for them.
