This site illustrates the challenges Canada faces in commemorating aboriginal heritage with national historic site designations. My feeling is that the Canadian government is unwilling to give the First Nations the financial and managerial support to protect, promote, and "monetize" heritage sites(throw up a few buildings, bring in costumed interpreters in the summer tourist season and charge admission, typical Parks Canada stuff), yet it still reaps the politically correct rewards of being able to say these sites are on the books as National Historic Sites of Canada. Parts of this site aren't even accessible to the public and local tourists information offices are instructed not to tell tourists where the pictographs are located.
