Traditional Knowledge/Medicine Example: tul’mn
Ochre was used for pictographs since time immemorial. It was crushed to a powder and mixed with water
to make a paint mixture. Our people painted it on rocks or their faces. They would also mix sq’wuct which
means grease. Tul’mn was in many stories/legends for example, stories about women going down to the
lake and painting their faces.
