PKOLS Stories: The Ancient Tale of Creation
​
The stories of PKOLS hold profound significance for the W̱SÁNEĆ people, tracing back to the dawn of time. One such story tells of the Creator, who, standing near or upon PKOLS, gathered stones from the area now known as Cordova Bay ('I'EL,ILCE in SENĆOŦEN).
From this sacred hilltop, the Creator cast these stones across the land, shaping the surrounding mountains and giving form to the landscape that the W̱SÁNEĆ people have cherished for generations. This ancient tale underscores the deep spiritual connection between the W̱SÁNEĆ people and the land, imbuing PKOLS with a timeless sense of place and purpose.
