dc.description.abstractArchaeological site EkTb-9, Triquet Island, is situated within the N̓úláw̓itx̌v Tribal area of Haíɫzaqv (Heiltsuk) Nation territory along the outer central coast of British Columbia (BC), Canada. Emerging from the Hakai Ancient Landscapes Archaeology Project, this dissertation explores the 14,000-year record of repeat human occupation and investment at the site. EkTb-9's early post-glacial record is an integral component of the historical ecology of the region as a similar relative sea level has been maintained since the late Pleistocene, supporting access to and repeat occupation of these same areas over millennia. Through collaboration with Haíɫzaqv Nation, oral narratives and language (Haíɫzaqvḷa) are combined with archaeological interpretations and Haíɫzaqv temporal phases are identified for past occupations of the site. This approach considers the intersections of Indigenous knowledge and Western science and the social and political embeddedness of archaeological practice. Collectively, the studies undertaken for this dissertation offer a unique opportunity to explore the theoretical and political importance of observed continuity at a single place of repeated human occupation and investment on the outer NWC of BC; a storied landscape of enduring cultural, economic, ecological, and political significance for Haíɫzaqv Nation.
