Jim Kershner’s this day in history
Jim Kershner The Spokesman-Review
From our archives, 100 years ago
Two Colville tribal chiefs returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where they asked for – and received, in some cases – help with some urgent problems.
Chief David Williams, the successor of Chief Moses, said, “We asked for what was right. … We asked that the practices of putting our women and girls in jail for the slightest provocation, without notifying their husbands or parents, be stopped. We want the same rights and privileges as our white brothers.”
He also asked for help to run the reservation’s sawmill and blacksmith shop at Nespelem. One man was running both, with the result that it was taking two or three days for repairs to be made.
Chief Charley Yet-o-Mosit made several requests, including for a younger doctor to serve his people. Their current doctor was old and unable to make “long rides over rough mountain trails.” The chief also asked for the continuation of the Fourth of July celebration at Nespelem.
Both requests were granted. Government agents had earlier threatened to ban the celebration.

Thousands expected for Tutu’s GU speech
Gonzaga University officials are expecting a crowd exceeding 11,000 Sunday morning for South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s graduation commencement speech at the Spokane Arena.
Admission is by invitation only, but Gonzaga will live-stream the event for viewing at gonzaga.edu/watchtutu. Graduation starts at 9:30 a.m. and Tutu’s speech will begin around 10:10 a.m.
Tutu, a Nobel laureate who campaigned against apartheid, AIDS, poverty and sexism, will receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the university.
His visit has been controversial with some Catholics, who disagree with the retired Anglican archbishop’s support of gay marriage and abortion rights.
