Heart of the Palus
Heart of the Palus
By L.E. Bragg and illustrated by Patrick Marich.
Acknowledgements: Heart of the Palús received funding from the Walla Walla District Corps of Engineers in cooperation with the Federal Columbia River Power System. This book is part of a Public Awareness Plan to promote public interpretative programs and cultural resource stewardship.
The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation History/Archaeology Program provided the background research and expertise for the storybook narrative and illustrations. Much of the history of the Palús people comes from Colville tribal elders, Palús and Nez Perce, who over the years shared their stories with History/Archaeology Program staff for future research and education.
The History/Archaeology Program is guided by the Colville Business Council who supports cultural resource management in the traditional territories of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation.
