Label Text"The Spokan Indians are a small tribe, differing very little from the Indians at Colville either in appearance, habits, or language. They all seemed to treat the missionaries with great affection and respect; but as to their success in making converts, I must speak with great diffidence, as I was not sufficiently acquainted with the language to examine them, even had I wished to do so." Kane, Wanderings, Chapter XX
