In 1964, the community was forced to relocate to Port Hardy after the Canadian Department of Indian and Northern Affairs threatened to cut off support for housing, education, and services if they remained in their isolated location. The village was burnt to the ground before the community had left in boats. This was to ensure they would not return.
