According to George Washington Hill, the company's interpreter, the chief told Hill that the Great Spirit had told him white men were coming and should be welcomed and learned from. He and Hill agreed that Indian and white leaders would arbitrate any difficulties that arose rather than fight each other. Based on the chief's instructions to Hill, the missionaries "got out large timbers" while the Indians made "wicket work," and soon large fish traps were erected on the swift-flowing river in which whites and Indians were catching salmon.
