In 2001 the Squamish Nation completed a landuse plan for their territory, designating several areas, including the Upper Elaho and Sims Valleys that are declared Wild Spirit Places or Kwa kwayex welh-aynexws. Interfor has subsequently ceased logging in the Wild Spirit Places out of respect. This paper describes Wild Spirit Places and what you can do to make sure they live on for our children's children and beyond.
