On Saturday, October 21, 2006 there was a gathering at the Xa:ytem Longhouse Interpretive Centre in Mission, British Columbia. For 15 years the Sto:Lo  have worked to save Hatzic Rock and this archeological site. In June, this land, now with its traditional pit houses and First Nations Interpretive Centre, was formally transferred to the Sto:Lo. There has been continuous habitation here on the banks of the river for nine thousand years.
