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.

Groundbreaking genetic study links living First Nation woman to 5,500-year-old ancest by Andy B on Wednesday, 05 October 2016
(User Info | Send a Message)
July 8, 2013: A groundbreaking genetic study led by a team of U.S. and Canadian anthropologists has traced a direct DNA link between the 5,500-year-old remains of an aboriginal woman found on a British Columbia island, a second set of ancient female bones from a nearby 2,500-year-old site and — most stunningly — a living Tsimshian woman from the Metlakatla First Nation, located close to both of the prehistoric burials along B.C.’s North Coast near the city of Prince Rupert.

The findings are the first of their kind to be generated using powerful new techniques to analyze the complete mitochondrial genome of the individuals studied, reconstructing a millennia-spanning line of maternal descent and providing remarkable new evidence of a people’s enduring occupation of a specific geographical area.

The scientific achievement is also seen to have significant implications for First Nations’ land claims and treaty rights, giving aboriginal groups a powerful new tool for demonstrating deep-rooted links between the present and hyper-distant past.
