This historical marker stands as a tribute to Chief Spintlum, whose wisdom and counsel shaped the region's history, further recognized by a bridge name change in his honor. Visitors are encouraged to approach with reverence and enjoy the educational materials available at the nearby Lytton Visitor Info Booth.
