Sunwapta

Sunwapta is a Stoney Indian word meaning "turbulent river" or "radiating waves" (as in ripples, small waves in a circular shape created after dropping an object in water).

A number of geographic features in Jasper National Park of Canada have been named after this name:

• Sunwapta Peak - 3,315 metres
• Sunwapta River
• Sunwapta Falls

Additionally, in 1934, Dr. George Richard Agar Rice included the word in his new Edmonton, Alberta based radio station company: Sunwapta Broadcasting.
