The village of Bamfield, at the southern entrance to Barkley Sound, lies within the traditional territory of the Huu-ay-aht.
William Eddy Banfield died under mysterious circumstances only two years later; early reports were that he had drowned while out canoeing, but later a Huu-ay-aht man was accused (but never convicted) of his murder.
The village has continued to be a small, quiet seaside town with a population of several hundred.
Banfield's appearance at KSU's McCain Auditorium marked the 129th speech in the long-running Landon Lecture series, which was established in 1966 by the late Kansas Gov. Alfred M. Landon.
Until last fall, Banfield anchored her own MSNBC news program, "Ashleigh Banfield: On Location," a program that included a stop last summer in Manhattan, where the Canadian-born host interviewed KSU experts who have developed methods to protect the nation's food supply from potential bioterrorism threats.
In her lecture, Banfield noted inconsistences in the Bush administration's announced war aims in Iraq, beginning with the original U.S. pre-war contention that Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein's alleged stockpile of chemical and biological weapons posed a serious international threat.
