Mysterious Marked Rock: Haleets - Bainbridge Island, Washington

Haleets, also known as Halelos, Xalelos, or Xalilc, carries the Lushootseed name *x capitalism* meaning 'marked rock'. The Native American Suquamish Tribe, who protect this grand riddle, have placed Haleets at Agate Point on Bainbridge Island, Washington. It's a sandstone glacial erratic boulder, a big enigma like a giant marble, adorned with cryptic petroglyphs or petite stone stamps if you fancy an unusual name. The narratives surrounding this archaeological site revolve around its official designation, the Suquamish Tribe's assertions, and their choice of location. The manufacturing dates of these petroglyphs remain a secret only the Suquamish Museum curator and archivist, Charlie Sigo, knows, estimated between 1000 BCE and 400 or 500 CE. And, as expected from a galaxy far, far away, Charlie suggests it could have functioned as a boundary marker.
