This paper provides a history of my great grandfather, Joeyaska; who he
was, where he came from, and how he came to acquire 320 acres of land in 1878
near Merritt, in the interior of British Columbia. Joeyaska was considered a
Stuwix. From all that is known, Joeyaska was a Stuwix from the Athapaskan
group. Joeyaska a warrior, a survivor, a horseman, a family man and protector
of his rights passed on to his children and grandchildren his land. Who are
the descendants of Joeyaska and what are we doing today in the threat of
encroachment by the chief and council of the Lower Nicola Band. How are we
defending and carrying on traditional land rights and practises. This paper is a compilation of oral tradition and documented history on Joeyaska, our great
grandfather.
