L INTRODUCTION IT IS CONVENTIONAL TO SEEK THE HISTORICAL ROOTS of British Columbia labour in the colonial era, that is to say, beginning in 1849 or thereabouts.

Through a close analysis of fort journals and related documents, I track the relationships between the Hudson‟s Bay Company newcomers and the Ts‟msyen peoples who lived in or around the fort. Based on the journal and some other accounts, I argue that a mutually intelligible – if not equally understood – world evolved at this site.

  • The Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Is a Difficult Task, and the Authors Should Be Commended for Their Efforts
    2008 OLYMPIC COAST NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY CONDITION REPORT REVIEWERS AND AFFILIATIONS James Delgado, Institute of Nautical Archaeology Sarah Dzinbal, Washington Department of Natural Resources Dave Fluharty University of Washington, School of Marine Affairs Rikk Kvitek California State University, Monterey Bay The document that follows is a copy of the DRAFT Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary Condition Report that was disseminated to four individuals who served as peer reviewers. In December 2004, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (OMB Bulletin) establishing peer review standards that would enhance the quality and credibility of the federal government’s scientific information. Among other information, these standards apply to Influential Scientific Information (ISI), which is information that can reasonably be determined to have a “clear and substantial impact on important public policies or private sector decisions.” The Condition Reports are considered Influential Scientific Information. For this reason, these reports are subject to the review requirements of both the Information Quality Act and the OMB Bulletin guidelines. Therefore, following the completion of every report they are reviewed by a minimum of three individuals who are considered to be experts in the field, were not involved in the development of the report, and are not Office of National Marine Sanctuaries employees. Following the External Peer Review the comments and recommendations of the reviewers were considered by sanctuary staff and incorporated, as appropriate, into a final draft document. In some cases sanctuary staff reevaluated the status and trend ratings and when appropriate, the accompanying text in the document was edited to reflect the new ratings.

  • The Wilkes Exploring Expedition in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Magazine, Spring 1987: Vol
    The Wilkes Exploring Expedition in the Pacific Northwest Columbia Magazine, Spring 1987: Vol. 1, No. 1 By David M. Buerge On April 19, 1841, the men on board the United States exploring vesselsVincennes andPorpoise, two weeks out of Honolulu, felt a change in the wind. The warm air blowing up from the tropics was overwhelmed by a great surge from the north, and within 24 hours the temperature dropped 30 degrees. Only a third of the way on their journey from the Hawaiian Islands to North America, the crews already felt the continent's cold breath. Nine days later they raised Cape Disappointment, the headland at the entrance of the Columbia River. The bar spanning the river mouth was marked by an unbroken line of white breakers forbidding passage. To men grown used to the brilliant foliage of the tropics, the majestic gloom of the American coast inspired feelings of awe, but perilous as it was, the scene was a thoroughly welcome one, and it had the feeling of home. Two years and four months had passed since they had last seen the continent's shore as they sailed out of Norfolk, Virginia, to the sound of brass bands and booming cannon, full of hope and enthusiasm for the voyage they were beginning. On that languorous August day in 1838 they had been 490 officers, sailors and civilians on board a naval squadron of six sailing ships. Largest was the three-masted sloop-of- war Vincennes, the flagship of the expedition's commander , Lieutenant Charles Wilkes. Forming a lovely line behind Vincennes as they passed the Virginia capes were the storeship Relief, the brig Porpoise, the sloop-of-war Peacock, and the schooners Flying Fish and Sea Gull.
