A long time ago, before there were telephones, the Stó:lo people delivered messages by runners, who carried messages from village to village, sometimes travelling for many days to complete their tasks. Occasionally runners worked together in a relay system.  People in the smokehouses along the river would often provide smoked fish or smoked meat for the runners, as they passed through.
