Camp Chopunnish (Long Camp), waiting for snow to melt — Patrick Gass: May 18, 1806
Ten members of the party went out hunting. No Native visitors came yesterday or earlier in the day, but around 2 p.m. five unfamiliar men arrived, stayed about an hour, and received eye-water treatment for sore eyes before leaving. An elderly man and his wife then came seeking medicine for the sick woman. In the evening, four of the hunters returned having killed nothing but some grouse.
and ten of the party turned out to hunt. None of the natives
visited us yesterday or to-day; until about 2 o’clock in the
afternoon, when five came that I had not seen before. They
remained about an hour and had some eye water put into
their eyes which were sore; after which they went away, and
an old man and his wife came for some medicine, as the old
woman was sick. In the evening four hunters came in and
had killed nothing, but some grouse.
