Example Sentences
- "Very little is known about the Komenox. Even the early relationship of the Komenox to the other Lekwiltok tribes is uncertain, although they were probably, as the name suggests, of Comox origin. James Smith stated that the Komenox were “a nation with ways of its own, which once lived between the Kwawkewlth and the Coast Salish but was neither one, yet was much like both in some ways” (Duff Papers, file 89)."
- "One particularly aggressive attack wiped out the Komenox as a distinct group. The late James Smith of Campbell River, who claimed Komenox ancestry, recounted one of their important legends."
