“I think it was at night time that the land shook…” “They simply had no time to get hold of canoes, no time to get awake. They sank all at once, were all drowned; not one survived…”

“I think it was a big wave smashed into the beach “I think it was a big wave smashed into the beach. The Pachena Bay people were lost…”

A tsunami wave hit several locations in western Japan on January 27th 1700. There is no record of a corresponding earthquake occurring near to Japan, or anywhere else around the Pacific Ocean Based on the time for the wave to cross the ocean it is estimated that the quake struck at around 9 PM local time on January 26th, 1700.

According to Chief Louis, everyone living at Pachena Bay was killed in the tsunami. Anacla aq sop, who was living in Kiixin with Nookmiis, was the only surviving member of her people. The current chief of the Huu ay aht, Spencer Peters, is a direct descendant of Chief Louis and of Nookmiis and Anacla aq sop.

Application of the Pachena Bay story to teaching: learn about why earthquakes happen learn about why they happen here learn about the impacts tsunami waves shaking and destruction learn about First Nations culture and history
