The Aklis site, a significant pre-Columbian archaeological site within Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge of Concordia Bay Beach. This site has shell middens, and burials showcasing early indigenous people. This site is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The site has been eroding due to the dredging of the Krause Lagoon a half century ago and the impact of climate change on the coastal shore of the refuge. Sand bags are put at the site to safe. However, the site is still being washed away by the ocean waves. It is against the federal and local law to be digging the site. (Photo by Olasee Davis)
