Talk:Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park

excerpted bit

 * '' that was easily accessible from Vancouver

That was hardly the rationale; access was difficult/limited, and that's why it was pristine. The gist of the campaign, and I remember it well, was that it was the last intact entire watershed in the Pacific Ranges, if not the entire Coast Mountains (maybe that as well, given the rapacious rate of logging in the 1970s throughout the larger range). That it was closer to Vancouver was a "sell point" for the campaign, and its proximity also helped the Stein Valley Voices for the Wilderness Festivals get huge attendance numbers (I think there should be an article on those, which is why I redlinked that; but I don't have the talent roster or old posters or such to do one up properly).Skookum1 07:22, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

role of Lil'wats
As I recall there's an arrangement between the Lytton First Nation and the Mt Currie Band (the Lil'wats) over stewardship of the park, as the upper northwest reaches of the basin are in Mt Currie/Lil'wat territory. This was at any rate the case when the campaign to make the park was on, I don't know what's happened with that since; as noted in edit cmoments distance from Whistler and Vancouver and access/proximity to Pemberton/Mt Currie could/should be noted, also north-side trail entries (Blowdown, Texas, Van Horlick etc).Skookum1 (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
