Ancient Village Discovered on Canada's West Coast Predates the Pyramids

Evidence suggests it is 14,000 years old and dates back to the last ice age

An ancient archeological find on Triquet Island on B.C.’s Central Coast is adding credence to the oral histories of the Heiltsuk Nation. 

“Heiltsuk oral history talks of a strip of land in that area where the excavation took place. It was a place that never froze during the ice age and it was a place where our ancestors flocked to for survival,” said William Housty, a member of Heiltsuk Nation. 

B.C. archaeologists have excavated a settlement in the area — in traditional Heiltsuk Nation territory — and dated it to 14,000 years ago, during the last ice age where glaciers covered much of North America. 

“This find is very important because it reaffirms a lot of the history that our people have been talking about for thousands of years,” Housty said.
