A dispute over gas drilling on a sacred mountain is pushing the boundaries of archeological studies that determine whether areas should be protected for their historical significance.
"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."
