Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park

Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park, near Lytton in British Columbia, protects the Stein River and its entire watershed from the eastern Pacific Ranges to the Fraser River. Created in 1995 after a long struggle against logging, it remains unlogged and preserves an exceptional landscape of glacial valleys, varied ecosystems, and abundant wildlife. For thousands of years the valley has been a sacred and sustaining place for the Nlaka’pamux, while also bordering Lil'wat and St'at'imc territories and serving as a travel route and cultural landscape. Its co-management by the Lytton First Nation and British Columbia reflects both its environmental importance and its continuing Indigenous significance.
