Lodge | ||
| The Lodge – History "Ten-ee-ah" is Shuswap, a language still spoken today by native people (also called "First Nations") and means "big animal", that is, the moose. Buster Hamilton, a Shuswap native, and his wife Milly built Ten-ee-ah in 1942 as a hunting base camp operating it until 1970. At that time only a wagon trail led from Lac La Hache to the camp where the Hamilton were the only ones to provide guaranteed moose hunt. They employed two native outfitters (guides). Marc's and Jimy's cabins are still intact and used today as Ten-ee-ah's staff cabins. Over the years the camp extended its offer to fishing, thus attracting many fishermen during the summer. In 1970 the place was sold to the Biltzans, who continued to operate it until 1980 when it changed into Swiss ownership remaining there ever since. In the years to come the camp was gradually extended and adapted to the new market requirements. The original hunting and fishing camp developed into a vacation resort, attracting more and more Europeans. |
