Heading to a talk today about the Seattle Camera Club, an artists' collective founded in 1920 by Japanese men, welcoming everyone regardless of origin or gender. They made lasting contributions to PNW art and culture, until forced to disband by the Depression. #PNWHistory #photography

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.

THE HBC BRIGADES, 1826:
When the outgoing Brigades reach their destination of Fort #Vancouver #WA, they are half way through their journey. However in this part of the world the rivers they travelled flowed from north to south, and so the return journey was always slower and more difficult. Never mind: they had a good time at their Pacific coast headquarters. #PNW #PNWHistory #WAHistory #HistoricJourney #HBCHistory https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-vancouver/ -

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1847:
"Reached the Cascades in time for breakfast. Found about 70 waggons of American Immigrants there. It was sundown before we got the pieces across and the boats past. Pushed off from the lower end of the Portage in the evening and put ashore for supper some distance below. Carried on in the night time and with the help of a favourable breeze of wind, reached the Saw Mill a little after midnight.
"Saturday. Raining the whole day. #WAHistory #PNWHistory #Books -

Fort Vancouver #Vancouver #WA is the headquarters of the Hudson's Bay Company on the Pacific Slopes. But as always, writing non-fiction is about learning new facts, and making sure the old facts are correct. #WAHistory #HBCHistory #PacificNorthWest #PNWHistory $Blogpost http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-vancouver/ -
Great tribute and and overview for the role Don Bonker played to make SW Washington a better place. How he did so many things is as important as the many things he helped make happen. #olympiawa #waleg #pnwhistory

YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1848:
"Remained windbound until the afternoon when we started under sail and encamped a little above John Days River. Clear weather.
"26th. Had a sail wind all day, but lost a great deal of time at a Rapid below Point Yes, where Joe broke his boat and it nearly filled. Had to get it repaired, and both of the boats gummed, so that it was nearly noon before we were ready to start. Made a good distance before encamping. #PNWHistory #PNW #WAHistory #HistoricJourney -
YORK FACTORY EXPRESS BLOGPOST:
In 1826, Lieutenant Aemilius Simpson travelled west with the incoming York Factory Express, leaving a good description of his walk through Athabasca Pass. In this post, I collect all the descriptions given by Simpson, and others, and so we have a good view of this historic mountain pass. #HBC #History #CanadaHistory #PNWHistory http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/athabasca-pass/ -
YORK FACTORY EXPRESS JOURNAL, 1827:
"Fine weather. Embarked at 4 am. The Chutes portage held us 2 1/2 hours and we had just time to clear it and encamped at 5 pm [when it] began to blow very hard. Found but few Indians on the Portage.
"26th. We had a little rain today and a strong head wind which impeded our progress greatly. We could not start till daylight about 6 am on account of running the Dalles. Encamped just above the Cascades, half past 5 pm. #HistoricJourney #WAHistory #PNWHistory -
Jack London first saw Ernest Darling, better known as Nature Man, on the streets of San Francisco and scampering in the hills outside of Oakland. Darling wanted a world in which people could be wild and natural, naked and healthy. What drives some people to attempt a return to nature in a rapidly modernizing world?
