Description
Lexwyó:qwem Smá:lt. Always Rotten Fish Mountain (no. 2). 98-P3-311 (L21 A)
Note
The brown area is usually bright green in spring and summer. Lexwyó:qwem no. 1 "is a place on Fraser River between first tunnel and Yale where rotten fish used to (always) pile up. On the CN (east) side of the river below the mountain." It was a permacultural vegetable garden, with berries, roots, wild rice, etc. The breeze brough the smell of rotten fish from the river up to the mountain.
