The Cowichan band is seeking an injunction to stop development of a site that members say is the most sacred place in their territory and one of the last available places to hold traditional and spiritual ceremonies. To the Native people of the Cowichan Valley the site is called Hw'te shutsun. To others, it's Hill 60.
