"Yuquot, BC —
Ancient ancestral remains unearthed this summer on San Rafael Island at Yuquot were most likely placed there by light keepers in the 1930s, according to an archaeologist examining the site.
An archeologist working with Mowachaht/Muchalath First Nation (MMFN) elders and cultural observers at the Nootka Light Station over the past two summers has reached that conclusion based on findings at the site as well as documented historical evidence.”
