Description From Owner:

Pavilion - From the French pavillion, for a flag or a tent. In his journal for 30 September 1826, Archibald McDonald mentions 'An Indian from the Pavillon.'
Commander Mayne tells us that, in accordance with the Indians' custom, a large white flag once waved here over the grave of one of their chiefs.
The Shuswap Indian name for Pavilion Lake meant 'where someone broke wind over the water.' (For the legend behind this name, see James Teit, The Shuswap, pp. 752-3.)
