These sacred carvings, possibly thousands of years old and created by Snuneymuxw ancestors, are now at risk—not just as stone, but as vital links to Indigenous identity and history. The vandalism, discovered by a shocked resident, has prompted an RCMP investigation and potential legal action under the Heritage Conservation Act. Authorities warn that restoration must involve First Nations consultation, underscoring the urgent need to protect these irreplaceable artifacts before they’re lost forever.
