My understanding is it’s a sacred place to the lummi, and there’s people buried out there.

I visited skull island once in massacre bay, out in west sound on Orcas. Then I read how it got the name. Very sombering of the brutality of life back then. A band of Haida warriors paddled down and decimated an entire lummi fishing camp, decapitating them and placing heads on spikes. It had an ominous feel and I didn’t stay long.
