Ann McCormack: I notice you are wearing a vest that I think probably has got some antiquity to it. Does that have any history to it? Or does it belong to your family?

Nakia Williamson: Yeah, the interesting story about this is it shows the kind of interconnectedness of various people of the plateau, the Sahaptin people. From the Dixon side the mother of Annie and Katherine she was the half brother, this is the way it was explained to me, half brother to Buck Pukeyetuut, or Johnny Buck from Priest Rapids. He was the one that eventually took up the leadership down there at Priest Rapids after Smuxwala passed away and then his son passed away. Some of our family have kept connections with these relatives, the Bucks down there, and while I was down there I really got to know some of our family. One member in particular, Richard whose lived in this community for a number of years and I really got to know a lot of my relatives through him. This was a vest given to me by Richard at some doings that was down there. This vest was originally made for Johnny Buck. That is where it comes from. It comes from the Priest Rapids people.
