British Columbia History | Vancouver Island History An interesting part of British Columbia history is Vancouver Island history. Amazingly, the history of Vancouver Island dates back about 8000 years and it has many interesting http://www.discover-vancouver-island.com/british-columbia-history.html
Extractions: of Vancouver Island British Columbia history, for Vancouver Island seems to have started in a mist, which is quite appropriate for the west coast of Canada. It’s a “mist” because there is a great deal of uncertainty about any starting point. When the ice age withdrew, about 8 000 years ago, humans arrived. Who was first seems to be debatable. Explorers from Japan arrived very early on, as did Chinese Priests and at least one Buddhist Monk (about 499 A.D.) On the other hand there are large stone figures and petroglyphs on the east and north-east coast which pre-date the present First Nations that were forming settlements on the island during the 1700’s. An article in the local newspaper (Vancouver Sun) points to a series of discoveries on Vancouver Island, of bison bones, suggesting the existance of food for ice-age hunters as early as 14 000 years ago. Fourteen separate finds of this ancestor of the plains buffalo, include bones that appear to have been "butchered" by humans, which suggested west coast shoreline hunters, who were seafarers, probably from Siberia, coming across the Bering Strait.

Extractions: There are three prominent First Nations groups of the Pacific Northwest who have divided the land between themselves for thousands of years: the Nootka, the Coast Salish, and the Kwak'wala Speaking Peoples. The rich land and marine resources enabled them to develop complex societies and the intricate aboriginal art forms that are now internationally acclaimed. To the east, in the region now known as the British Columbia Rockies, the Kootenay were the original keepers of the land, having fought fiercely for possession of the precious hot springs found in these mountains. The Carrier nation roamed the interior valleys, the Tsimshians ranged the northern coast, and the Tlingits occupied southern Alaska and northern British Columbia. The Sekani and Beaver occupied the eastern region of the north while the Haida lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands.
