[hometext] => Dunvegan is where I live. It began as a fur trading post along the Peace River. Chin-chago was the name used by the Slavey people for what is now known as the Peace River. Its translation is Beautiful River.
[bodytext] => Once a wild wilderness, filled with tough realities; It's rugged beauty was reflected in the eyes of rugged men. Changes swept through alongside the years. It's new beauty grew from the dreams seen by cultivated eyes. Surrounding hills are not untouched, but still cling hard to their ancient beginnings. Upon these hills I walk today. Sun shines from far above, Chin-chago flows far below. The ghosts of the explorers and the natives before me whisper with the wind. I revel in their beauty. My time will come. Some day it will be my turn to lay upon these hills, to feel the sun from the north and the south. The grass will cover me, entwine me among its roots. I will become yet another knoll among these tireless hills. The deer will stand to graze upon me. Future explorers will feel me as I whisper in the wind, and I will tell them of my home.
