"... 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.

"...For generations, stories halve been handed down that tell of an ancient coastal village..." Who said anything about writing?

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.
