There is apparently a fair amount of disagreement about the Chief's elevation. A number of sources such as McLane [1] quote the elevation as being 650m, but this is apparently only approximate. A map produced by the British Columbia Ministry of the Environment indicates that the elevation of Third Peak--highest of the Chief's several summits--is 702m. [2] This elevation is also quoted by Bivouac.com. [3] Further corroboration with the government topo map would be valuable.

I noticed that the change a while back from "It is the second largest..." to "It is not..." was unsourced and unexplained, so I reverted it. I'm not really sure of the truth of the claim---anyone want to weigh in on this, and/or find a source saying that it's not? -- Spireguy 02:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious if anyone has seen anything about the oral indigenous history of the mountain. Ironically I do know the oral history of it, but for me it, it's still oral. I rememeber hearing stories about the mountain, how it came to be, it's spiritual importance, etc. But I cannot remember who told me these stories, if I read them somewhere else, or what. Like for instance, my people say when every a Skwxwu7mesh passes away, a rock falls off the mountain. The greater the impact and importance they had in their lifetime with the people, the bigger the rock. When August Jack, Andy Paull, and Joe Mathias passed away, huuuuuuge rocks fell. I also know the story about how it came to be, but like I said, it's all in my head and I haven't heard of a citable reference or anything and I can't remember who told me the story when I was growing up. So I'm asking if anyone else has seen/heard of good citable references to the mountain's indigenous history? OldManRivers ( talk) 22:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
