  1. THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
    The Nicola Valley is a large flat grassland that lies between two ranges of hills. It is covered in trails, both Indigenous and HBC brigade trails, and everyone who worked at #Kamloops or who rode out with the Brigades rode through this valley. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory nancymargueriteanderson.com/ni

    In 1823, John Work and Peter Skene Ogden came down the raging Columbia River in small wooden canoes.

  13. THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
    Alexander Anderson led his men from #FortLangley to the place where the future Fort Hope would be constructed. East of that place, he and his men followed the Sumallo River to the historic Rhododendron Flats -- a unique grove of California Rhododendron. #TheHBCBrigades #Journeys #BCHistory nancymargueriteanderson.com/rh

  14. 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.
