This Is What I Think.

You just couldn't let it go.




No matter how many times I told you to stop.

You just have to take everyone else down with you. And they're okay with that.

All I have to do is look around at my private apartment to know you are taking them all with you.

Lemmings gotta follow lemmings.

Coeur d'Alene Press


Chief Andrew Seltice led Coeur d'Alene Indians into the modern age

Posted: Sunday, May 25, 2014


By SYD ALBRIGHT/Special to The Press

The Coeur d'Alene Indians say that Chief Circling Raven lived to be 150 years old, ruling his people from 1660 to 1760. With the gift of prophecy, he warned of grave dangers ahead. He also said one day the Black Robes will come.

Andrew Seltice was born about 1810, not long after his Schitsu'umsh people saw their first white men when Lewis and Clark passed through. He was not like the more famous warrior chiefs Geronimo, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. He preferred diplomacy to battle.

He was there at the time of the Whitman Massacre, the Steptoe fight and Colonel Wright hangings, and the slaughter of 800 Indian horses by Army soldiers. He watched with great sorrow the invasion by the whites and the rape of tribal lands and properties, and the trampling of Indian rights by the U.S. government.

Time and again, treaties with Indian tribes were broken or ignored by both government and settlers. Seltice knew that there would be no way to stop it.

Driving tour tells story of Lake Saltese

Museum event brings history to community

Lisa Leinberger The Spokesman-Review

Chief Andrew Saltese – or Seltice, depending on which side of the state line you area standing on – lived with his family for years on the banks of a lake that shared his last name. He later moved his family to the mission at DeSmet.

The land was purchased by Peter Morrison, who famously drained the lake in 1894, taking advantage of the nutrient-rich soil from the lake bed to farm.

“That’s one of the Valley’s famous stories,” said Spokane Valley Heritage Museum director Jayne Singleton. The museum houses some of the actual shoes Morrison’s horses wore so they wouldn’t sink into the mud during the drainage project. “(He wanted to grow) the finest Timothy hay west of the Mississippi.”

History: Honest and generous, Chief Seltice carved local legacy

6/6/2012 10:13:44 AM

By Ellen Martin Bernardo

Liberty Lake Historical Society

Exactly when the wise and beloved man who would become chief of the Coeur d'Alene Indians was born is open for debate. All agree it was before 1829 in the Spokane Valley. He was born into the Schitsu'umsh tribe, the son of Moses Seltice, a Coeur d'Alene Indian, and Julia Rosa Komshinal, a Spokane Indian, and a descendant of Sitting Bull, a chief in Spokane Valley. He called himself Andrew Seltice (from the family) of Emotes. Many changes and transitions were to come during his lifetime.

French Canadian trappers and traders, coming through the area, began calling the Schitsu'umsh people they met "Coeur d'Alene," meaning "heart of the awl," as they had the reputation of being shrewd traders. The name stuck. The Schitsu'umsh people became known as the Coeur d'Alenes.

The prophecy of Chief Circling Raven, who ruled the Coeur d'Alenes for one hundred years, 1660 to 1760, foretold of the coming of the Black Robes, the Jesuit missionaries. This was fulfilled with the arrival of Father Pierre-Jean DeSmet in 1842. Andrew Seltice converted to Christianity in 1844 at the St. Joseph Mission. He was married to Julia Rosalia Tsjumskunnagwei at the same mission. The Black Robes and the mission would play a major role in the future of the tribe.

After the Northern Indian Wars of 1858, Chief Vincent, Andrew Seltice and other tribesmen quickly stepped forward to sign a peace and friendship treaty with the United States. They never again went to war against the U. S. government. However, this treaty did nothing to protect their ancestral lands. With the help of the Jesuits at the mission, the Coeur d'Alenes wrote letters asking for the government to honor their treaties and their tribal lands. It would take 43 more years to gain legal and binding title to their lands.

Saltese Flats Project - Background

Saltese Flats is in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 57, the Middle Spokane River, generally southeast of the City of Spokane Valley. Saltese Flats was a natural, shallow lake/wetland system, until around 1900, when much of the area was drained for agriculture.

Runoff from the watershed drains north off of Saltese Flats into Saltese Creek and eventually into Shelley Lake. Shelley Lake has no surface water outlet. Water in Shelley Lake infiltrates into the ground and recharges the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie (SVRP) aquifer.

Shelley Lake


Shelley Lake History

Shelley Lake was named for John Francis Shelley, who homesteaded the area in 1881. The 640-acre parcel of land, including the lake and surrounding area, was given to a Shelley family member in payment for service in the Civil War. While the Shelley family owned the property, the area around the lake was declared a neutral zone where Indian tribes could come to negotiate disputes. The lake was used for ice skating and miniature hydroplane races. In the early 1950s, the Rice family purchased a portion of the Shelley land, including the lake area. At that time, the property was used for cattle grazing and the Rice family's meat packing operation.

The homes of the 1st Addition of the Shelley Lake Estates development were built in the late 1990s

Liberty Lake Historical Society


With help from the Jesuits, Chief Seltice helped bring the Coeur d'Alene's from a hunting and gathering society to an agricultural tribe. Before the 1850s, they gathered berries, dug camas bulbs and caught fish in the plentiful lakes, rivers and streams for their food. They hunted buffalo in Montana until the buffalo no longer were plentiful as well as mule deer and elk closer to home. By the 1850s, at least part of the tribe was farming.

Chief Seltice believed the way of life for his people had to change to survive with the influx of settlers. In the 1870s, they began to prepare for the move to an area that could sustain the entire tribe through agricultural means, not far from where they traditionally dug camas. The US government had still not given them title to their land. In 1877, Seltice moved to the DeSmet area of Idaho. He continued to keep his cattle and horses in the Spokane Valley area to graze and feed for a few more years as he developed his farm to fully support them.

Stephen Liberty, for whom Liberty Lake is named, became a friend of Chief Seltice. In 1887, Chief Seltice, his brother-in-law Peter Wildshoe, Stephen Liberty and others traveled to Washington, D.C., hoping for a treaty settlement. Again, it was not ratified. Liberty became a translator for the Coeur d'Alenes, traveling several times to Washington, D.C., on their behalf.

Chief Seltice invited Steven Liberty, Patrick Nixon, Joseph Peavy and Julian Boutelier and their families to be adopted as part of the tribe and to live on the reservation, which they accepted. They became known as "White Indians." Seltice also invited the Spokane Indians to settle on the Coeur d'Alene Reservation, too.

In 1891, the tribe finally received title to part of their ancestral lands now known as the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. It took until June 2, 1924, for a law to be passed allowing the American Indians to become citizens in their own country.

WEX: What world did you come from?

JINTO: Can we go there?

SHEPPARD: Afraid not. I'm from a galaxy far, far away.

(The team approaches a village of tents.)

TENT. Inside one of the tents, a group of people is sitting around a table eating a meal and talking. Halling calls from outside.

HALLING: It is Halling. I bring men from away.

(A woman in her late twenties looks up.)

TEYLA: Enter.

(Halling comes in and holds the tent flap aside so that Sumner, Sheppard and Ford can come in. Teyla stands as they walk across to the other side of the tent and turn to face her and the others. Halling walks over to Teyla.)

HALLING: These men wish to trade.

SHEPPARD: Ah, it's, uh, (he takes off his goggles, fixes his hair and smiles at Teyla) it's nice to meet you.

TEYLA: I am Teyla Emmagan, daughter of Turghan.

SUMNER: Colonel Marshall Sumner, Major Sheppard, Lieutenant Ford. We have very few specific needs.

TEYLA: We do not trade with strangers.

SUMNER: Is that a fact?

SHEPPARD: Well, then, we'll just, uh, we'll have to get to know each other. Me, um, I like, uh, Ferris Wheels and, uh, college football; anything that goes more than two hundred miles per hour.

(Ford leans towards Sheppard and speaks quietly.)

FORD: Sir, that's not going to mean anything to them.

SHEPPARD (equally quietly): Feel free to speak up. I'm just trying to break the ice.

SUMNER (similarly quietly): if these people can't help us, I'd rather not waste the time.

TEYLA: Each morning before dawn our people drink a stout tea to brace us for the coming day. Will you join us?

(Sheppard steps towards her, smiling.)

SHEPPARD: I love a good cup of tea. Now there's another thing you know about me. (He smiles round at Sumner before turning back to Teyla.) We're practically friends already!

DAY TIME. Sumner walks to the end of the village where Sergeant Bates is looking through a pair of binoculars at something in the distance. On seeing Sumner beside him, he hands over the binoculars. Sumner takes them and looks where Bates had been looking. Some distance away is a ruined city.

BATES: We didn't even know it was there until the sun came up.

SUMNER: Looks more promising than anything else these folks have to offer. Plenty of shelter, a nice little valley. (He lowers the binoculars.) Location, location, location. (He gives the binoculars back to Bates and walks back into the village.)

TORAN: The City of the Ancestors is not safe.

TEYLA: We have never met anyone who did not know.

TEYLA: If the Wraith have never touched your world, you should go back there.

SHEPPARD: Oh, we'd like to, but we can't. See, here's the thing, ma'am: we've got ourselves into a bit of a bind and we may need a safe place to stay for a while.

TEYLA: Our people have long believed that the Wraith will come if we venture into the old city ... but it is a belief we have not tested in some time.

“What’s D-E-D, Daddy?” Baby LaVon asked.

“Never mind, honey,” Sally said. Her voice seemed to come to her from down a very long canyon.

Charlie swallowed. Something clicked in his throat. “Everything’s supposed to mag-lock if the clock goes red. They got a Chubb computer that runs the whole place and it’s supposed to be fail-safe. I saw what was on the monitor, and I jumped out the door. I thought the goddam thing would cut me in half. It should have shut the second the clock went red, and I don’t know how long it was red before I looked up and noticed it. But I was almost to the parking lot before I heard it thump shut behind me. Still, if I’d looked up even thirty seconds later, I’d be shut up in that tower control room right now, like a bug in a bottle.”

THE KILLERS


"All These Things That I've Done"

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I wanna mean it from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The gold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

[x10]
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the back burner
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and in, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
