Xá:ytem Historical Site
The Xa:ytem historic site, location of the Hatzic Rock, is situated on 18 acres, just east Mission on the Lougheed Highway. Believed to be the site of the oldest dwelling yet found in British Columbia, the boulder marks a location where carbon dating of hundreds of native artifacts indicates that a dwelling existed 9,000 years ago. The site was designated as a National Historic site in 1992. Visitors learn about BC's Oldest House at 6000 years old and the thousands of artifacts that were unearthed in 1990 and 1991. The Hatzic Rock is a rare transformer site that depicts the Sto:lo story of 3 chiefs who challenged the Creator, and were turned to stone.
