THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS
In 1846, as he passed up the Fraser River, Anderson's men paddled past an enormous inland lake where many First Nations people lived in houses on stilts. The HBC men called this "Smess" and today it is named Sumas Prairie. There is no lake here anymore. #Journeys #TheHBCBrigades #BCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fur-traders-smess/ -

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.
