K’ómoks and Comox Harbour: fishing landscapes and heritage care
Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.
The 2022 community newsletter reports a conserved lattice panel with samples dating to the fourteenth–early fifteenth centuries. K’ómoks public interpretation places fishing and settlement within its own history, not an externally invented lost-civilization narrative.
Coastal households, river connections, and the evidence
Coastal, island, estuary, and river connections
Courtenay, British Columbia, Canada is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. K’ómoks and Pentlatch histories and household fishing practices cannot be collapsed into one timeless state.
Political organization and community scale
K’ómoks and Pentlatch histories and household fishing practices cannot be collapsed into one timeless state. Fish-trap age estimates concern sampled wood, not every stake or one exact founding date; do not publish vulnerable feature coordinates or access instructions.
Later transformation, living heritage, and modern reception
Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. K’ómoks and Pentlatch self-designations and language histories require community-specific use, not one inferred coastal dialect. Later colonial, research, reconstruction and stewardship events are dated separately from the main archaeological context.
