A new settlement has been discovered by researchers from the Hakai Institute, University of Victoria and local First Nations members, and it changes everything scientists thought they knew about early civilization in North America. The 14,000-year-old village contains artifacts that date all the way back to the Ice Age and is believed to be one of the oldest human settlements ever uncovered in North America. Its even suspected to be older than the Giza pyramids!
As IFL Science reports, the discovery lines up with the oral history of the Heiltsuk Nation. For generations, stories have been handed down that tell of an ancient coastal village. William Houston of Heiltsuk Nation told CTV News Vancouver Island:
To think about how these stories survived all of that, only to be supported by this archaeological evidence is just amazing.
Artifacts from the village were discovered on Triquet Island, approximately 310 miles northwest of Victoria, Canada.

Moving down the coast from Beringia? Seems likely.
Well said.
Carbon date firepit residue where artifacts were found?
I’ve got some arrowheads that are pegged at 8,000-10,000 years old.
Who said anything about writing?
“... the discovery lines up with the oral history of the Heiltsuk Nation. For generations, stories have been handed down...”
Ah jeez, what a pantload of BS. Those people are Neolithic, and lack a written language.
Handed down, you know, ORALLY. as in ‘the oral history of ...’
Thanks—very interesting.
.
Then there is the Rib showing up in Africa supposedly around 1300 AD, with a large concentration in Gabbon.
Don't make sense.
They take soil samples of the different strata levels as they go down in the Dig, extract the biological material and date it that’s how they tell.
Are they saying that the village is an engineering marvel equal to the pyramids?
I don’t know. I didn’t read it or watch the video, either.
Hence “oral”.
“...and local First Nations members”
So probably the Indians claim it’s 14,000 years old and the scientists went along with it out of political correctness.
Just off the top of my head - any coastal village that was around 14,000 years ago would be under water now.
The last Cave Art Paintings of the Cosquer Cave are estimated to be 19,000 years old and the cave entrance is now under 115 feet of water.
Uh-huh. That would be the oral history of every primitive tribe ever interviewed by ethnographers. All Stone Age people say they are the only true human beings in the world. And that they were the first people who ever existed. And also that all the other tribes are descended from people who sleep with their own sisters. Or monkeys. Or something.
Beware politicized "First Nations" horsecrap from the Great White North--designed to perpetuate special privileges from the Canadian government. I'm sure that among the "nations," they'll be able to find a story somewhere vague enough to let them claim to be the creators of every archaeological find in the history of the world--including the Pyramids of Egypt.
As has been noted here, there have been archaeological finds in the upper Midwest that include remains of Causasians who appear to predate the migration over the Asian land bridge that brought Asians to North and South America.
I heard a prof on Art Bell years ago that had a book out. One of the subjects it covered was "When does dust become dirt".
You could look that up, as well as that documentary series on what happens to the infrastructure when humans are gone. Well, once liberals and progressives chase out everybody that can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Back in the days of global climate change when the Bering Sea “land bridge” connected Alaska and Siberia the sea level was much lower than now. It is quite possible that there are lots of former settlements that could be even older than this one that are under the waters of the Pacific Ocean now. They were the ones with the SUV’s who caused the glaciers to melt and all was lost...
When they discovered the “Kennewick Man” the Umatilla’s called him the “Ancient One” based upon their oral history. To me that implies he was somehow the first person to inhabit the now Columbia Basin in Eastern Washington. Since he died a violent death at the hands of another, then he wasn’t alone. But the “Ancient One” story line never answers that question, which seems awfully convenient.
One does not negate the other. How many centuries does it take for a mass migration to happen? How many times did a tribe say, "we're not getting in that little Yak skin kowa boat?" "We'll walk to the new hunting ground."
Match cover in the debris.
