Story of Quilinick
This was told to me by my mother Marcella, it was told to her by an Elder from Esketemc {Alkali Lake Indian Band}.
In the summer when the fish were running up the Fraser River near Little Dog Creek, Quilinck was a young baby, playing near the river. Her mother and a few grandmothers were busy fishing and tending to the fish. When they realized Quilinick had fell into the river. All panicked and tried their best to get her back, but she was swept down the river by the fast moving current.
The ladies had thought that they would never see her again, they decided to stand in a circle and call on the grandmothers and grandfathers for help. A white swan was said
to circle the ladies and fly down the river, the ladies followed the swan that flew overhead. The swan swooped down out of the ladies sight and was never seen again.
The ladies kept on going till they came over a small hill, to where the swan had swooped down, and there was Quilinck sitting on the bank, all wet but safe and sound, with four white feathers spread out around her.
[Dawn's note: Interestingly, the white swan shows up in Kirkpatrick history, too, though it is a symbol of an impending death with them.]
