  Elder Margaretta James is a visiting scholar at St John’s College, UBC and speaks to the social, historical, political and economic importance of Yuquot, also known as Friendly Cove, on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. 
  Learn how in the eighteenth century this trade route was a source of early contact between first peoples, Europeans and others. 

  
  You will also learn about the “Whalers’ Shrine”,  which stood in the forest for more than a millennium before being surreptitiously taken in 1904 for the American Museum of Natural History.  

  
  In 1923 Parks Canada recognized it as a national historic site, as a unique ceremonial structure, and the most significant monument to a purification ritual on the west coast.  Repatriating this sacred shrine to its home is not just a matter of cultural heritage and respect for the ancestors, it is part of a path of healing for the wounds of the past.

  
  Presenter:  Margaretta James (First Nations Elder of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht, Historian, Scholar and Social Activist)
