  • Collective Remembering and the Structure of Settler Colonialism in British Columbia
    Commemorating John A. Macdonald: Collective Remembering and the Structure of Settler Colonialism in British Columbia Timothy J. Stanley* n the summer of 2018, following discussions on reconciliation with representatives of the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations on whose traditional territory their city is located, the city council of Victoria, IBritish Columbia, voted to remove a statue of John A. Macdonald from the entrance to city hall. Macdonald, who never actually visited Victoria and who nationalists often celebrate as the first prime minister of Canada, had been the one-time member of Parliament for Victoria, elected in 1878 for Victoria and also for Marquette, Manitoba, after being defeated in his home riding of Kingston, Ontario. Canadian nationalist narratives often celebrate Macdonald as the father of Confederation,1 the “Nation Maker” who made Confederation work, oversaw westward expansion, and welded the country together through the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. However, in practice, Macdonald’s nation-making project sought to take over the territories of Indigenous peoples and remove them from the land so that it and its resources could be exploited by people of European origins. For many Indigenous peoples, Macdonald was the chief architect of the residential schools who engineered their cultural genocide and the negative consequences that they continue to bear.2 * I would like to thank Christine O’Bonsawin and John Price for their encouragement, support, and patience with this article. I would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their assistance in developing my arguments. Frances Boyle as always is my first and best reader.

  • Bcsp Index Intro/Contents
    British Columbia Sessional Papers Index, 1872-1916 INTRODUCTION The British Columbia Sessional Papers are an annual collection of selected papers tabled in the Legislative Council of British Columbia (2nd to 8th Sessions, 1865-1871) and the Legislative Assembly (1st to 32nd Parliaments, 1872-1982). This index covers Sessional Papers published between 1865 and 1871 with the Journals of the British Columbia Legislative Council; the term Sessional Papers first appeared in the 1866 Journals. The index partially fulfills a requirement for an index to the complete set of Sessional Papers. Departmental reports and selected papers published in the Sessional Papers are also indexed in Marjorie C. Holmes' Publications of the Government of British Columbia, 1871-1947 (BC Archives Library call no. Ref. NW 016.9711 H752p). A photocopied set of table of content pages for all BC Sessional Papers is available via the Information Desk in the BC Archives Reference Room. The following special categories of papers are indexed under the headings in parentheses: (Acts): also indexed by subject matter (Indexes): to departmental annual reports or other reports, papers, etc. (Maps): only folded maps are indexed (Petitions): also indexed by the name of the petitioner and the subject matter (Proclamations): also indexed by subject matter (Reports, Official): at the departmental level only; subject matter is not indexed except for a few unusual cases (Voters Lists): arranged by the electoral district name used at the time the list was compiled. The last voters lists in the Sessional Papers appeared in 1899. Access to all the provincial voters lists held by the BC Archives may also be obtained by consulting a list at the Information Desk in the BC Archives Reference Room.

  • Henry P. Pellew Grease : Confederation Or No Confederation
    Henry P. Pellew Grease : Confederation or No Confederation GORDON R. ELLIOTT In 1971 we British Columbians celebrated our fourth centennial in fourteen years. In 1958 we celebrated the establishing of the British Colonies on the west coast of North America; in 1966, the union of those two colonies as British Columbia. It was fairly evident after the Char- lottetown conference in 1864 that the eastern colonies would come together, and in 1967 we celebrated that centennial. As early as March 1867 a new idea had been set to brew on the west coast: the idea was simmering by that summer, bubbling by the next, and at a full rolling boil in 1869. When Henry Pering Pellew Crease, as Attorney-General of British Columbia, opened the debates in the British Columbia Legislative Council on March 9, 1870, he defined the issue as "Confederation or no Confederation."1 In 1971, we celebrated one hundred years as a Canadian province. The view of that Council varied about whether to join Canada or let Canada sink by herself. While Mr. Henry Holbrook, J.P., felt that British Columbia would become the "key-stone of Confederation,"2 Mr. Amor De Cosmos, that strange editorial bird from Victoria District, preferred the expression "corner stone."3 Booming, brash and boastful, John Robson of New Westminster, who believed that until now the progress of the colony had been "like that of the crab — backward,"4 looked to the future: "I believe ... that our agricultural resources may be developed so as to give us one million of population within twenty years, and that this Colony will become of immense importance when the Overland Railway, the true North-West Passage, is established.
