Off the coast of northern British Columbia, the Lucy Islands have some of the oldest archaeological sites on the western coast, human occupation has been traced back to 5,000 years ago at the site.
Among the finds are houses, burial remains and ancient landfills (called middens). More recent inhabitants of the island became fishermen and lighthouse keepers, but the islands today are effectively uninhabited. You'll also be able to take a peek at the old lighthouse on the islands, though.
