THE YORK FACTORY EXPRESS: FORT VANCOUVER TO HUDSON BAY, 1826-1849
Athabasca Pass was an enormous barrier to easy travel between York Factory and Fort #Vancouver #WA, but the men of the York Factory Express had it figured out -- they knew when they could and when they could not travel over the mountains. #Journeys #YorkFactoryExpress #ABHistory #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/athabasca-pass/ -

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
From Anderson Lake, the exploring party under A.C. Anderson made their way west toward the lake they called Lillooet Lake.

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1846, Anderson and his small group of men followed the Fraser River down to the stream that flowed out of Seton Lake, before walking to the west along the north sores of both Seton and Anderson Lakes. They were on their way to #FortLangley, and they did arrive at the place, but the trail was not a good route. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/anderson-seton-lakes/ -
THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1846, Anderson set off to explore the country between #Kamloops and #FortLangley, searching for a new route for the brigades.

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS

THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1848, Henry Newsham Peers kept the journal for the incoming HBC Brigades, as they made their journey up the Fraser River from #FortLangley, on the lower river, to #Kamloops, on the Thompson River (which flows into the Fraser). Although he doesn't say so exactly, it as a tough journey. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/henry-newsham-peers-journal/ -
On April 6, 1980, the #Canadian #Farmworkers #Union came into existence. This film documents the conditions among #Chinese and #EastIndian #ImmigrantWorkers in #BritishColumbia that provoked the formation of the union, and the response of growers and #labour contractors to the threat of #unionization. Made over a period of two years, the #documentary film is eloquent testimony to the progress of the #WorkersMovement from the first stirrings of militancy to the energetic canvassing of union members.

Learn more about #ChiefMaquinna.
This is a collection of words, photos and video clips for Hyas Tyee #Nuuchahnulth - Chief Maquinna. A greatly respected & important Chief of the Nuuchahnulth #Haida People, of the Haida Gwaii Islands, in #BritishColumbia #Canada.
Chief Maquinna (also transliterated: Muquinna, Macuina, Maquilla) was the Chief of the Nuuchahnulth People of #NootkaSound, during the heyday of the maritime fur trade in the 1780s and 1790s, on the #PacificNorthwest Coast.
British explorer #CaptainCook went looking (like so many #Europeans before and after him)or the Northwest Passage. He ran headlong into a thriving trade and business culture on the west coast, overseen by young Nuu-chah-nulth, Chief Maquinna.
The two men's encounter would forever change trans-Pacific trade and teach the European empire a lesson in diplomacy, they've managed to forget, many times over.
