Crafted from an original photo taken by Frederick Dally in 1867, Nine Chiefs depicts a group of nine indigenous leaders who traveled from the Cariboo to New Westminster, BC, for political discussions on reservation placements. The nine chiefs are wearing a variety of traditional dress, including leather, tassled jackets and furs. Throughout the mural you can also see a number of traditional tools, drums, baskets, and more. The Nine Chiefs mural was painted by local artist Dwayne Davis in 2017, under the instruction of the Cariboo Frienship Society. The nine chiefs from the original photo are represented by the nine centre men in the mural. From left to right, we believe there were: Na nah of Dog Creek Band, Quil – quailse of Alkali Lake Band, Ta – o’task of Canoe Creek Band, Williams of Williams Lake Band, Se – as – kut of Kenpesq’t (Shuswap) Band, Timpt khan of Babine Lake Band, Silkosalish of Lillooet Band, Kam – eo – saltze of Soda Creek Band, and Sosastumpi of Bridge Creek Band.
