"The kind of uses people had for that area isn't well protected in legislation," said anthropologist Doug Hudson, who is helping Chetwynd-area bands with historical and cultural studies of Beattie Peaks.

"The mountains were used. But the uses weren't all that visible in terms of what the researchers were looking for."
