  1. THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
    In 1846, the artist Paul Kane leaves #Jasper House on his way across the Rocky Mountains very late in the season -- so late, in fact, that an early snowstorm almost prevented them from reaching the Boat Encampment. #YorkFactoryExpress #Journeys #ABHistory #BCHistory nancymargueriteanderson.com/pa

  6. THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
    The old location of Fort Alexandria was in a different location than I have previously understood it to be, and so that changed the story of the Fort Alexandria flood that was the result of a landslide along the Fraser River. But there were two landslides.... #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory nancymargueriteanderson.com/fo

  11. Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
    On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.

    We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

  12. Contrary to common belief the #CPR did not import #ChineseLabor to build the Railway. The Chinese were imported by contractor Andrew Onderdonk, building through #BritishColumbia under contract to the #CanadianGovernment. The C.P.R. took over the line later.
