KnKna? xwa’ is the great salmon Chief of the Kettle Fall’s area.
He was like the fish warden before European contact. He carried
two rocks which he would smash together down at the Columbia
River and that was the great ceremony which opened the salmon
season to all visiting tribes that built encampments along the
Columbia River.
