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 https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-kane-7/ -

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 https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-alexandria-flood/ -

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.

THE HBC BRIGADES, 1826:
"From the Indians who frequent the Lakes that lay along our route for the purpose of Fishing, we obtained a few Trout, Carp, & some roots. These fellows being notorious Horse thieves, we began on the night of the 13th to keep watch, a practice I mean to observe as long as any danger may be supposed to exist. With these people we exchanged a Mare and a Horse that were miserably poor & unable to proceed much further, for two Horses... #HistoricJourney #Brigades #BCHistory -

North of Fort #Okanagan #Okanogan, on the Columbia River, the HBC men abandoned their boats and rode horses northward, following the Okanagan River to #BritishColumbia's Okanagan Lake and beyond. Destination: #Kamloops But they would not make it that far in this post. #HBC #History #BCHistory #Brigades #AmWritingHistory #Blogpost https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-twelve/ -

Spintlum was one of the most important First Nations chiefs of his time, and by the fur traders was known up and down the Fraser River as a "treacherous Indian." And perhaps he was -- but all the First Nations were fighting and killing each other! However, Spintlum was also wise, and he knew when to stand back and let the American gold miners go by. #BritishColumbia #BCHistory #LyttonBC #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/spintlum/ -

The HBC Brigades from Fort Colvile travelled up and down the Kettle River, on their way to and from Fort Langley. But they had used this trail for many years as it led the men from the interior of #BritishColumbia to the Columbia River to the east. For the most part, it ran through British Territory, but it did dip, on occasion. south of the border. #HistoricJourney #BCHistory #WAHistory #Brigades #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/kettle- valley/ -

The journal of Henry Newsham Peers tells the stories of the difficult 1848 Brigade journey, from Fort #Yale, #BritishColumbia to #Kamloops. It was a packhorse journey filled with problems, which the HBC men for the most part overcame with the help of the local First Nations. #BCHistory #Brigades #Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/henry-newsham-peers-journal/ -

The HBC Brigades, and the requirement for any Brigade Trail that was going to be explored, uncovered, and built. Interesting, the First Nations people often helped to build and clear the trail. #HBC #History #Brigades #BCHistory #WAHistory #Books http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/hbc-brigades/
