Talk:Jasper National Park

Columbia River?

Coumbia River was removed as originating in/from Jasper National Park. Since the Columbia flows into the Pacific and the JNP boundary is along the continental divide, I'm pretty sure it can't be classified as originating in the park cause water doesn't flow uphill. So unless we can confirm this with some evidence of JNP's boundary either extending into BC, or water flowing uphill, I've removed it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grizzlydog (talk • contribs)

Jasper National Park

The History section on Jasper National Park starts with a European but there were Native Americans before who left traces on the landscape. Who were they? Is Spirit Island on Lake Maligne part of a pre-columbian culture?Milomac (talk) 20:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

I'll be working over the next few days to flesh out the History section of the article, and in particular, add some info on First Nations history and land relations before and after the park's establishment Allthegoodghosts (talk) 17:49, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Schäffer wasn't the first settler to reach Maligne Lake

Though Mary Schäffer's 1908 expedition is by far the best known, and gave the official names of many landmarks in the area, she was not the first settler to reach Maligne Lake. It is generally accepted that the surveyor Henry A. MacLeod was there in 1875 (amusingly naming it Sore-foot Lake). Mount Henry MacLeod at the south end of the Maligne Lake is named after him in acknowledgement of the fact.

This error is repeated twice in the "Early tourism and sport" section. I am working on new text that corrects this, removes duplication, adds information about the first tourist (Southesk) and also the pioneering guides and outfitters of the area. Benfwilliamson (talk) 04:35, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
