It is an artistic and cultural interpretation and is not meant to convey precisely accurate archaeological information. Contemporary archaeologists view First Nations as partners and value oral traditions as a source of information about the past that augments the scientific approach.

Beyond the Map
The Pacific Northwest was well travelled by coastal indigenous peoples yet remained a blank area on European charts and maps until the late 18th century. Expeditions from Asia, Russia and Europe used modern navigational equipment to add to the scientific and geographical knowledge of the globe in the 1700s. By unrolling our charts of the Pacific Northwest, this web site looks at what inspired 'exploration' and 'discovery' and what those ideas mean.
