Ancestors of Bob & Doug McKenzie, Eh? ;)
How on earth could they KNOW that these artifacts are 14,000 years old?
.
Ah jeez, what a pantload of BS. Those people are Neolithic, and lack a written language.
Apples and Oranges.
Are they saying that the village is an engineering marvel equal to the pyramids?
There were apparently a number of migrations to the North American continent, and not all of them necessarily from the Asian land bridge. Some of the very early waves may have been from across the Pacific Ocean, landing in Central and South America, and eventually spreading to the Tierra de Fuego in the southern tip of Chile, and the Amazon rain forest. There may also have been a migration starting in Europe, crossing by small craft skirting the edge of the polar ice cap, in an arc from perhaps present-day Scotland, the south tip of Greenland, and ending in the Maritime provinces of Canada, and thence southward and westward. Also many millennia before Lief Ericsson.
What are euphemistically called “New World Indians” are really a very diverse people, genetically and by place of origin.
Reminds me of a stunt Bubba pulled when proof that an Indian tribe in California was NOWHERE near the first group to settle in the area and the first “tribe” was WHITE. He had the area buried under tons of concrete and declared a federal park to preserve the lie. Democrats are very good at preserving and perpetuating lies.
Paleo people.
They’re European. They went for some Chinese take out and took a wrong turn at Vladivostok.
Moving down the coast from Beringia? Seems likely.
“...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.
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...
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."
If it is 14,000 years old, it is 10,000 years older than Stonehenge, but only about 9500 years older than the Pyramids. Can’t they do basic arithmetic?

“... 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.
