I was wondering whether you could tell me the research that has been done to come to the name Taiaiako'n-High Park. The organization that uses that name, and often protests in the Park, is quite controversial and most of their claims are denied by modern archaeologists. As someone who lives in the area I would recommend - if you must find a First Nations related name, despite there being virtually No First Nations community in the area - it should be a place name that is historically connected with the area.

Personally, I believe you should drop it altogether. A better name would be Swansea - High Park, that properly identifies the current neighbourhoods and communities.

Thanks,

Dave Long
