The Keyoh system was the customary land governance structure (pre 1846) of the Stuart Lake Carrier peoples for at least 500 years and it continues today.
Furthermore, each Keyohwhudachun could decide to contribute surplus resources at a gathering, attended by members of other keyoh(s).
Chief Kw'eh was among those who received the explorer Simon Fraser in 1806 when local Carrier people brought his foundering canoes into Tsaooche village, another family's keyoh in Sowchea Bay.
Chief Kw'eh is also known for the incident in which, in 1828, he spared the life of his prisoner, the fur trader James Douglas, who later became the first governor of the united Colony of British Columbia.
He was also known for his acquisition of an iron dagger prior to the arrival of the first Europeans in the area, presumably one traded in from the coast.
