The Colville or Chualpay people were semi-nomadic hunters and gatherers, with deer being the primary game animal. Fishing and trapping rabbits and squirrels, plus clams were also regular food sources.
Wild roots, herbs, fruits and nuts were gathered - particularly camas root which was dug up by the women using digging sticks.
