  6. 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.

  11. “These would have been extraordinarily sought after in 18th-century Britain, during the golden age of shell collecting when single specimens could sell for thousands of pounds.”

    Long presumed lost, the collection of rare shells is now on display in England

  12. Funny thing last week with #accents — for context, my visual acuity and #ventral stream are stronger than average, but I've got some #AuditoryProcessingDisorder or auditory #agnosia so that listening to thick accents is like watching with subtitles that autocorrect.

    An audio-only Welsh accent said "Cally Cook" but I heard the word "Kirk". Then it hit me that #CaptainKirk and #CaptainCook are both famous captains … COULD THEY BE the same name on purpose?

    Guess what: James Cook, James Kirk.

  19. Day 19 of the #LadysMagazineAdventCalendar: Travel Writing, both domestic and international, was hugely popular in this periodical. Domestic travel series or one-off pieces seem often to have been original, but the magazine also published abridged and extracted versions of expensive travel writing volumes which it “adapted for the ladies”, including its 5-year serialization of Cook’s third voyage, from which this engraving is taken. #travelwriting #Georgian #CaptainCook #imperialism
