Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park

Say Nuth Khaw Yum Provincial Park in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland surrounds Indian Arm, an eighteen-kilometre fjord north of Burrard Inlet, and protects six thousand six hundred eighty-nine hectares of steep, largely undeveloped forested mountain terrain, including most of Buntzen Lake’s shoreline. Established by BC Parks on July 13, 1995, the park later became closely linked to cooperative management with the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation through agreements in 1998 and 2010, when its name changed from Indian Arm Provincial Park to Say Nuth Khaw Yum, meaning “Serpent’s Land” in Halkomelem. Along with its scenery and recreation, the park is important for significant archaeological sites and the long human history of the Indian Arm area.
