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. It’s 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.

Take off! ;)
“Of all the sites I frequent they’re the only one that requires some type of file sharing to post pictures.”
Shhhh! That’ll require a Freep-A-Thon on a MONTHLY basis - which would annoy we, ‘Monthlies’ to no end! ;)
HINT: Go make a ‘burner page’ at Facebook, post your pictures there and link them over here. Let ‘Moneybags-Boy-Wonder’ pay for the bandwidth.

To clarify, I posit that oral tradition can’t maintain accuracy over thousands of years. Any type of carvings, petroglyphs, or writing would IMO greatly assist in keeping the story straight.
Thanks to all for curing me of my haplogroup ignorance.
“... Triquet Island, approximately 310 miles northwest of Victoria, Canada.”
Good case for these to be the Jomon from Japan who were active sailors 14,000 years ago. The Jomon are know to have followed the currents to South America. They were also likely the builders of the undersea ‘formations’ along the Japanese coast.
