Naapiikoan (White People)
When the first fur traders came to our territory their behaviour was strange and not appropriate. We did not understand them or how they acted. They reminded us of the Napi stories. We called these newcomers
Naapiikoan. We did not need what they had to trade us and we refused to travel the long distances to their forts.
