It cites restricted development by Gawganda, northern exploration trends toward Pocupine, and a global silver price drop. Three mines remain active as the town centers on mining and sawmills with tourism hunting and fishing as income sources. The community’s name derives from an Indian term meaning big pickerel or pikeel tush.
