THE HBC BRIGADES: CULTURE, CONFLICT, & PERILOUS JOURNEYS

The Lone Tree was a famous landmark along the banks of #Okanagan Lake, in #BritishColumbia. In this post, both of the HBC men leading the Brigades travel from the bottom of Okanagan Lake to the Lone Tree, and beyond, on their return home to #Kamloops and #FortStJames. The Lone Tree no longer stands, of course, but it was in modern day #Summerland #BC #BCHistory #HistoricJourney #Blogpost https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-fourteen/

Growing up in the #NorthernBC community of #FortStJames, Erin Stagg was surrounded by #Carrier #culture & #learned all about it. At the same time, she found out very little about her own heritage.
Stagg is now an #interdisciplinary #artist who lives in #PrinceGeorge, about 160 kilometres southeast of her hometown. Last week, she was front & centre in the opening of her #NewExhibit at Prince George's #TwoRiversGallery
