Description
From Ts'éqwela looking up Morris Creek, Sxáxe.
Ts'éqwela, Th'éqwela - A fairly flat clearing on a mountain in Morris Valley where they used to play ts'its'eqweló:l or Indian badminton. The game was played with cedar things that have wings (winged cedar seeds?). The place was located on the Harrison River side of Morris Lake Mountain.
Brent Douglas Galloway, Dictionary of Upriver Halkomelem, Volume I (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2009) 859.
Sxáxe - Morris Creek (near Chehalis, B.C.), Morris Lake (near Chehalis). Literally 'something to be sacred/taboo.' There is a story which explains this told on the perhaps untranscribed tape of the 8/24/77 Elders Meeting by Dolly Felix, perhaps the same story as related to Sxáxe Smá:lt, Morris Mountain.'
Sxáxe, Smá:lt - Morris Mountain (near Chehalis). It grew in the flood and the Chehalis people climbed it and were saved, nowadays you can go there if you know where and ask for rain or for a man, etc., there is a special tree there where a kind of blowing sound was always heard, a powerful place (Dolly Felix), literally 'sacred mountain.'
