"It's known that the Snuneymuxw were the victims of raids by other First Nations . . . but just what happened to the Departure Bay village is a big question mark," he said.

"...but it's well known that I have my head up my ass. That's how I wound up working here in the first place."

at least 60 of the bodies were uncovered, with their hands bound and their heads removed,

They had an IRS back then too?

Faster than eminent domain, I suspect, to get them off the land....

I know the area well, spent plenty of time in Nanaimo in-and-around Departure Bay in my youth many years ago.

Yeah, “Snuneymuxw” — the local Indians had unpronouncable names for their tribes. A thoroughly fascinating culture on the West Coast, in many ways resembling Maori. And in their own way, just as savage.

Mankind is on the cusp of losing something very precious by not capturing as much info about that culture from as many of he older indians as possible.
