About Hišimy̓awiƛ (Hi-SHIM-ya-wit)
As of September, 2019, the hut on Peak 5040 has been renamed Hišimy̓awiƛ. The pronunciation is simple: [Hi-SHIM-ya-wit], although the final “barred lambda” or “running man” can also be pronounced [tsh] or [tl]. The three i’s in the name are all short. The name means “Gather Together” in the Barkley Sound dialect of the Ucluelet First Nation (UFN). Hišimy̓awiƛ is the first ACC hut to receive a name from local First Nations.
