The promo doc on the In-SHUCK-ch Nation that was published in the paper a
bit back gave Ska'tin, which means the same thing as Skookumchuck (strong
water, i.e. rapids; may also refer to the hotspring on the site).
Ska'tin/Skookumchuck is an In-SHUCK-ch reserve....actually, once their
treaty is done with fairly soon it won't be a reserve anymore....rather a
community within a self-governing aboriginal nation within the province of
BC; something subtly legal and technical, that's for sure (Go Wilson Go!)
