Chris Luke Sr.

Chris Luke Sr. is an Elder, former elected Chief, a historian and author from the Yaqan Nukiy community of the Ktunaxa Nation near Creston BC.  His most recent book The Yaqan Nukiy, Their History, Culture and Traditions is packed with information including on kinships, ceremony, traditional games, the Ktunaxa Canoe, dancing, and powwows.  He has much to say in the way of peaceful times with neighboring tribes, including on intertribal marriage which he wrote about in his first publication Drags Grizzly.
