Old native burial ground found near my place

Historically, this is very cool, and likely points to Okanagan Indian Band occupation/migratory pattern adjacent to Swan Lake.
A few miles from my place.

Our place is too far from the lake to have been of much interest to the native Indian bands.
They were smarter than we are :lol: :lol:

I found this arrowhead at a job site a few years ago.

That's really cool, Tim.
I bet your city's museum would be able to tell you which group/time it was from.
