- Yuquot_Whalers_Shrine abstract "The Yuquot Whalers' Shrine (known also as 'prayer house' or 'washing house'), previously located on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, was a site of purification rituals, passed down through the family of the Yuquot Chief who owned the Shrine. It contained a collection of 88 carved human figures, four carved whale figures, and sixteen human skulls. The Shrine was first described in first-hand accounts in 1785 by early western explorers as a Nootka (Nuu-chah-nulth) ceremonial site; the actual origin of the Shrine is unclear. Anthropologist Aldona Jonaitis believes a text of Camille de Roquefeuil written in 1818 provides the first conclusive evidence of the Shrine’s existence from the perspective of multiple people. Rituals performed at the Shrine are of some contention, with more recent texts from anthropologists Franz Boas and Philip Drucker describing the ritual as involving the use of skulls or corpses that do not appear in the earlier French texts of de Roquefeuil and his ship’s surgeon Yves-Thomas Vimont. What is known is that it was of considerable importance given the Nuu-chah-nulth’s long history of whaling, going back at least 4000 years.It has been suggested that it was late in the winter canning season of 1900/early 1901 that George Hunt learned of this ‘mysterious’ Shrine in the forest near Yuquot. Hunt initiated communications with Franz Boas about the existence of the Shrine and he photographed it meticulously to gauge Boas’ (who at the time was employed by the American Museum of Natural History) interest in 1903 and found him excited to purchase it. Two elders claimed they had power to give permission to remove the Shrine and Hunt negotiated a price with both of them with the condition was he was to wait until the band left for the hunt before removing the Shrine as they feared a backlash. It was in 1904 that the Shrine was moved to the AMNH where is remains today, yet to be fully displayed.".
