Talk:Yoho National Park

"Yoho" is from Cree?
Now why did I grow up thinking it was in Kootenay/Ktunaxa or Blackfoot or some other language from the immediate area? I know there were Cree in the employ of the HBC/NWC, but this seems like a long way from Cree home turf for this placename, which AFAIK was conferred long before the railway (and its implicit introduction of aboriginal names from outisde the region, e.g. Minnekhada, the old G-G's retreat in Port Coquitlam).Skookum1 15:01, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Eriklizee 17:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC) I think the explanation lies in the 'middleman' role of the Cree in the fur trade. Although Yoho is a fair distance away from their terrirtory, they would have often travelled to the area to trade goods (at inflated prices) for furs with the local hunting bands, then taken those furs back to trading posts on the plains. They would have told HBC/NWC traders their name for the area, and it seems to have stuck.

Humm...this info should be added to the article.TheApplePi (talk) 03:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Twin Falls (British Columbia)
I see the teahouse already has an article - Twin Falls Tea House National Historic Site of Canada, but the falls themselves, don't. This came up because of an image I found in the British Library collection on the Commons. Wondering if the falls do need their own article, or if their title should be redirect to this article- which so far makes no mention of them - or to the teahouse article. .Skookum1 (talk) 10:18, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello InternetArchiveBot - I have reviewed your changes and done some edits to clean them up. Two of link replacements were unnecessary as those resources are still active: One replacement did fix a expired page, however seeing that this is time sensitive travel information, a stale archived link is of little value; therefore I have removed this link altogether: http://www.pc.gc.ca:80/docs/v-g/pm-mp/guidem-mguide/index_E.asp Finally I have also removed the link http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com:80/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0008754 because it is a resource of very shallow depth that provides nothing unique beyond what is found in the other links.
