History of the area, information about the hikers and a journal of the five day trek over roughly 35km. Nootka Island, just north of Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island's western shores, abounds with the earliest history of British Columbia. The ancient Nuu-Chah-Nulth* village of Yuquot, at the southwestern tip of the island has been continuously settled for over 4,300 years. It is here, the only place in Pacific Canada, where native whaling originated and developed. One of the most significant archaeological finds associated with this heritage is known as the 'Whalers Shrine'. Originally located at one of the lakes adjacent to Yuquot (Friendly Cove), it is now in the New York museum of Anthropology. By the late 18th century, when their ranking leader, Chief Maquinna, greeted the first white men on Vancouver Island, the site at Friendly Cove had become the capital summer village of the Mowachaht* people, housing around 1,500 natives in about 20 wooden long-houses.
