It is also a complete fabrication of history to say the park in its entirety was ever named Xwayxway. Xwayxway was the name of a small village where Lumberman's Arch is now, it was never the name of the entire park area. There were other villages in the park as well; St'i'tekekw was a village at Second Beach, and Sch'lhus was at Prospect Point. I see no reason why signs could not be erected in these areas, showing the historical names. It would give tourists more native things to fawn over. There comes to a point where we should not let OUR history be glossed over because of something that happened generations ago. I am doubtful the happy agreement by the government is anything more than trying to appear PC, and not "anti-native culture". However, they should probably actually look in to real history.
It is, and always WILL be, Stanley Park. And I encourage people to read why
