But I have reason not to believe that the graveyard is prodominantly Sheikah. Firstly, Impa opened up the village to the public, but that doesnt mean that proir to that everyone in the village was a Sheikah. Notice that for years Sheikah numbers have been very limited, and seven years later, Sheik was described as the 'survivor' of the Sheikahs. They seem to be a very scarce group - and have been so for years, and that includes before Impa's lifetime, which is evidence that Kakariko's graves may contain a large amount of Sheikah, but it is not certain what amount of them were. This is evidence that the hookshot could have very easily not been a Sheikah artifact, assuming that Dampe dug it up in the first place, which is also uncertain.

to my understanding the Sheikahs were a race, not a tribe. Just because a village is named a 'Sheikah village' does not mean that all those who dwell within it are Sheikah. I have reasons to back up this point above.
