The story of the Two Brothers. Two Haida brothers traveled from Haida Gwaii to the Rocky Mountains and found this spot that spoke to one of them. He stayed the other returned home. After a long time the brother who returned home missed his brother and went back to find him at the place they parted. There he found a house but his brother had passed away but before he had passed on their culture to his daughter (now this brothers niece. #1485462
