description At S'oksun (Deep Bay) and Tseycum (Patricia Bay) on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in traditional Coast Salish territory, recent archaeological investigations have yielded two intriguing interment features dating from the late Middle Period. The posture and grave associations imply these were important and powerful women within their communities— quite possibly shamans. The presence of quartz with both interments alludes to this potential as quartz, quartz crystal and quartzite have been closely linked with shamanism throughout the world. Among Coast Salish peoples, quartz is also associated with weather control and clairvoyance. Cultural continuity is well established in the region; these interments suggest the deep antiquity of some facets of the Coast Salish belief system, which is still extant and experiencing resurgence today. À S'oksun (Deep Bay) et Tseycum (Patricia Bay) sur l'île de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, sur le territoire traditionnel des Salishes du Littoral, des fouilles archéologiques récentes ont identifiees deux caractéristiques d'inhumation intrigantes datant de la fin de la Période Moyenne. La posture et les objets associés aux tombes suggerent qu'elles étaient des femmes importantes et puissantes au sein de leurs communautés- tres probablement des chamans. La présence de quartz dans les deux enterrements fait allusion à ce potentiel, puisque le quartz, le cristal de quartz et le quartzite ont été étroitement lie avec le chamanisme a travers le monde. Chez les peuples Salish du Littoral le quartz est également associé au contrôe de la météo et à la clairvoyance. La continuité culturelle est bien établie dans la région; ces inhumations suggèrent la profonde antiquité de certains aspects du système de croyances des Salishes du Littoral, qui existe encore à ce jour et connait une résurgence.
