Sletewsi

The Slet̓éw̓si, or valley people, were a Kalispel group associated with the Colville Valley west of the Chewelah Mountains. Their neighbors along the Pend Oreille River gathered camas and fished in a country of rivers and wooded hills. In 1811 the fur trader David Thompson visited a Kalispel village on the Pend Oreille, passing a broad meadow known for its camas roots.
