Ḵ'els
ḵ’els[4] is a mountain located at the head of lekw’emin (Jervis Inlet)[5] above the ancestral shíshálh village site of x̱enichen[6] and within the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. The mountain is associated with a shíshálh legend about a great flood.[4]
In 1860, during a survey by HMS Plumper, the mountain was named "Mount Victoria" after Princess Beatrice Mary Victoria who was the ninth child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.[7] The name ḵ’els, which means "anchor" in she shashishalhem, was legally restored on June 21, 2023.[4]
The first colonial ascent of ḵ’els was made in 1931 by Arthur Tinniswood Dalton and Percy Williams Easthope.[1]
