Allied to Na’kwoel’s family was brooding Tsalekulhye, the first of a line of hereditary chiefs, whose family came from Pinche, a village on Stuart Lake. Born about 1735, he was younger than A’ke’toes, whose sister or cousin he must have married, since his eldest son ultimately succeeded to A’ke’toes rank.

Some members of the northern Sekanais tribe made a friendly visit to the Stuart Lake band. One evening there was a scream in the camp, and one of the Sekanais saw his own sister bleeding to death from an arrow wielded by Tsalekulhye. Narrow eyes, keen rage, Sekanais shot Tsalekulhye as he crept to the woods. Angry arrow gouged his thigh. He recovered his strength but the wound sunk deeper, malicious. Notorious story passed like poison at fires, tribe to tribe and his fear and pride grew—no one would cross him or his family.

About the year 1780, a beloved member of the Naskhu’tin tribe died near the confluence of the Blackwater and Fraser. Grief flooded the ears of a shaman who said that Tsalekulhye killed him. Twisted bitter Tsalekulhye, he said, and the Naskhu’tins despair sickened to wrath, and they gathered their rage in arms to Stuart River, in search of Tsalekulhye.
