Tree faller Aaron Hill stumbled‍ upon a series of unnatural looking mounds while he‌ was ‍working at a logging site near Chemainus. The following ​field season,‍ he found more while leading a⁤ guided archaeological tour with the Cowichan Tribes. The mounds turned ‍out to be ancient‍ Indigenous middens, or trash dumps that often have⁤ layers of artifacts indicating presence in an area over⁣ a period of time.

Hill has been trying to get Western Forest Products to ⁤protect the ⁣site⁢ and retain the ⁢ancient remnants of the Cowichan⁤ Tribes, the inhabitants of⁤ the area for thousands of years, but the company is⁣ proceeding with⁤ logging plans in the area, putting the middens at risk. “I just can’t turn a blind eye to it when I see these piles of clam shells, abalone, rock-crab shells, burnt rock, baked clay, chipped stone, ground ⁣stone, debitage, broken stone tools, ochre, and charcoal,” Hill‍ told CHEK News. “To me, ‍it’s obvious that there have been humans there, living ⁤off of the land,⁢ harvesting the land for thousands of years.”

The Conclusion

Underneath⁣ the rhythmic symphony of ​machinery, there was an‌ unspoken harmony waiting to be unveiled. A bulldozer’s roar became a ⁤revealer of time’s secrets, a harbinger of history’s hidden whispers. The⁢ once-serene land now ⁤echoed ⁣with the‌ clash of preservation ⁤and progress, a battle waged on the⁢ ancient battleground of a people long gone. But amidst the clamor, a forester stood his ground, a protector of the past against the relentless march of the present. His unwavering resolve was a testament that even in the face of industrial might, the‍ echoes ​of our ancestors could ‍still be heard, their stories still yearned to be uncovered.
