Japanese Castaways in the Northwest | Mossback's Northwest

For centuries, there is evidence that Japanese vessels have washed up on the Washington coast. Evidence exists in finds of iron tools in pre-contact archaeological sites. But probably the most dramatic was the arrival of three survivors of a drifting junk from Japan in the 1840s.

I was born and lived in Vancouver, WA all my life- and I never knew such an amazing monument to the "Three Kichis" existed here!

It would be very interesting to study pacific north west native Americans with asian DNA sources. A korean friend was always being confused by Lummi tribe members as one of them.
