Mount Inglismaldie, Mount Girouard, and Mount Peechee form a massive interconnected group which is the northern end of the Fairholme Range, lying immediately south of Lake Minnewanka. The southernmost peak of the group is Mount Peechee. George Simpson, the first non-native to visit the Banff area, named the lake now known a Minnewanka after Peechee, the Metis who guided him through the mountains and along it's shores in 1841. Some four decades later George Dawson noted that "Peechee Lake" had not appeared on maps and was not being recognized and decided to transfer the name to the mountain which rises above the mid-point of the lake. Dawson referred to the lake as "Devil's Lake" on his 1886 map, the name being derived from Devil's Gap to the east. Two years later the Department of the Interior changed the name to Lake Minnewanka. Peechee lived with his wife and family on the edge of what they referred to as Devil's Lake (now Lake Minnewanka). Walter Wilcox wrote in Camping in the Canadian Rockies that, "The guide Peechee seems to have possessed much influence over his fellows, and whenever, as was often the case, the Indians gathered around their campfires and gossiped about their adventures, Peechee was listened to with the closest attention on the part of all."
