A few more from the abandoned Native village, specifically the dock and beach. The white sand is clamshell eroding away from the 15ft high bank that was built up over the centuries of clamshell campfires.
This is one of the villages that Capi visited with her kids in the boook The Curve of Time, and is one of the last villages to be occupied. Apparently the ceremonial Potlatch was outlawed at some point, and the last one was done here illegally at some point with many arrests. Most of the Natives decended from this village now live on Vancouver Island in Alert Bay or Port Hardy.
