The Native American Suquamish Tribe claims the rock, on a public beach at Agate Point on the shore of Agate Passage, as part of their heritage.{{sfn|Lewarch|2012|p=3}} The exact date the petroglyphs were carved is unknown but is estimated to be around 1000 BCE to 400 or 500 CE, the latest date being when labrets (worn by one of the petroglyph figures) were no longer used by Coast Salish peoples.{{sfn|Bainbridge Island Historical Museum|2012}}{{sfn|Leen|2015}} Haleets is the Coast Salish name of the rock, also transcribed as Halelos, Xalelos and Xalilc, meaning "marked face".{{sfn|Alcalá|2013}} It is known in English as Figurehead Rock. Its purpose is unknown but the Suquamish Museum curator and archivist Charlie Sigo has stated that it may have been a boundary marker.{{sfn|Westbrook|1999}} An amateur astronomer has proposed a theory that it has a calendrical function (see Archaeoastronomy).{{sfn|Lewarch|2012|p=3}}{{sfn|Westbrook|1999}}{{sfn|Bainbridge Island Review|2008}}{{refn|group=notes|Bainbridge Island Historical Museum 2012: "The petroglyph lies precisely west of the Skykomish canyon 60 miles away. Standing at the petroglyph on the vernal and autumnal equinox, one can view the rising sun shining straight through the canyon."{{sfn|Bainbridge Island Historical Museum|2012}}}} The rock is {{convert|5|ft}} tall and {{convert|7|ft}} long. It sits about {{convert|100|ft}} offshore,{{sfn|Westbrook|1999}} and has been marked with chiseled and drilled coast survey features since 1856, and a bronze geodetic mark was placed on it in 1934.{{sfn|NOAA|2015}} Some sources say that the rock is one of three prominent Salish Sea petroglyphs that were always on the shoreline,{{sfn|Beauchamp|2013}} but tectonic activity around the Seattle Fault may have put Haleets in the intertidal zone.{{refn|group=notes|Alcalá 2013: "Within human memory, Laxelks, now called Wing Point, fell about three feet during an earthquake."{{sfn|Alcalá|2013}}}} {{Panorama|image = File:Haleets Rock panorama.jpg |height = 230 |alt = A boulder sits on a cobbled beach in bright sunlight with a stretch of blue water behind it. On the horizon are low forested hills. There is a snow covered volcano on the far distance. A few sailboats are in the water. |caption = Panorama of Haleets Rock looking northwest from the beach. Petroglyphs are on the side facing the water. }} FootnotesReferences{{reflist|30em}}
