The mystery of the Stuwix - an Athapaskan or Chinookan people amongst the Secx'emc

Lha'Xiyem.

The story of the people who left the Columbia Gorge area to resettle in
the north around the current Washington - BC boundary is known to many
indigenous people of this region, it seems.

The "Wishram" people apparently said that these folks were Salish, or am I
misremembering from Sapir's and Spier's ethnography?
