  • For over 4,000 years, members of the Mowachaht First Nation have occupied a village on northwest Vancouver Island called Yuquot. Today, Ray Williams, and his wife Terry, are the only permanent residents left.

      That’s impossible because there was a mile high glacier there 9,000 years ago. His tribe was not able to colonize that area before

    What a wonderful person and an interesting place to live.
    Unfortunately, he forgot to mention his people are rich and operate the Gold River Resort & Casino with $40 Million a year in profits, $16 million from other sources, and $8.5 million from the Canadian TaxPayers.
    The Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations have approximately 613 registered members.
    I study the history of Indigenous communities all over the world.

      If you are worried about injustice. It’s happening right now in Tibet, East Turkestan, and Inner Mongolia.
