Description From Owner:

Peace River - The Sekani Indians of north-central British Columbia knew this as Tse-tai-e-ka, meaning 'the river that runs by the rocks,' referring to its canyon through the Rocky Mountains.
The Crees called it A-mis-kwe-i-moo-si-pi, meaning 'the Beaver Indian River.'
As for the Beaver Indians, they came to call it Unjigah, Unchaga, or Unjaja, variant forms of their word for 'peace.'
They called this 'the Peace River' because of Peace Point near Lake Athabasca. Some time before 1790, the Knistenaux (Cree) and Beaver Indians ended a territorial war by setting their boundary at this point in the river.
