Approval Name: Patricia Feindel Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) Title: Voices from a Buried Past: Recovering Dis/ability Histories Through the Woodlands Memorial Garden Examining Committee: Chair: Simone Rapisarda Assistant Professor School for the Contemporary Arts Dara Culhane Senior Supervisor Professor Robert Menzies Supervisor Professor Emeritus Tim Stainton Supervisor Professor School of Social Work University of British Columbia Kirsten McAllister Internal Examiner Associate Professor School of Communication Pilar Riaño-Alcalá External Examiner Professor Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: October 22, 2019 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract In 2007, the Woodlands Memorial Garden (WMG) was installed in New Westminster, British Columbia, on the site of a long-forgotten cemetery, active between 1920 and 1958, for people diagnosed as mentally “unfit” who were institutionalized at the Public Hospital for the Insane and/or at Essondale Hospital for the Mind (later known as Woodlands and Riverview). Unique in Canada, the WMG recognizes 3200 individuals whose burial places were erased by the provincial government’s removal of gravestones from the Woodlands cemetery in 1976 to transform the site into a “park.” The 2007 installation of a public memorial created not just a material, geographic space for collective recognition and remembrance, but a symbolic, discursive space that prompted individuals to enquire about relatives buried at the site and to explore suppressed family histories related to the history of dis/ability and ableism in BC. Interpreting the WMG as a hybrid counter-memorial, I conducted a collaborative ethnographic study with relatives of people buried at the Woodlands cemetery, engaging in and tracking their research of “lost” family members, inviting responses to the WMG, and co-creating stories, while examining the entanglements between personal, familial, and public remembrance and forgetting. Emerging participant stories addressed the affective, ethical, and sociopolitical dimensions of researching a stigmatized and suppressed family past, while presenting a range of creative strategies for reinstating and including institutionalized relatives in family narratives and the public record. Through storytelling, participants extended the meaning of family advocacy by “rewriting kinship” (Rapp & Ginsberg 2001) across generations of the living and the dead: intervening in family silences, addressing historical erasure, and challenging persistent ableist exclusions in contemporary society. This study offers insights into collaborative ethnographic practice and demonstrates how anthropology can contribute valuable knowledge to disability studies. It contributes to an under-explored area of disability studies – the advocacy and caring role of families in the lives of people with dis/abilities, and their social and political potential. It highlights intersections between colonialism and ableism in dis/ability history and expands historical memory work and commemorative studies by drawing attention to ableism and dis/ability as social justice issues. iv Keywords: collaborative ethnography; commemoration and memorials; storytelling; intergenerational family advocacy; disability studies; institutionalization v Dedication To the memory of my parents, Faith Lyman Feindel, RN, 1920-2016, and William H. Feindel, MDCM, 1918-2014, whose love, support, and keen interest made this study possible. vi Acknowledgements First and foremost, I am grateful beyond words to the participants in this research who agreed to share their stories, their time, and often their homes with me. They ignited and fed the fire that kept this study alive. I am forever indebted to my Senior Supervisor, Dr. Dara Culhane, for steadfast guidance, support, advocacy, and humour during more years of graduate study than either of us ever anticipated; and to my PhD Supervisory Committee members Dr. Robert Menzies and Dr. Tim Stainton for their guidance, encouragement, and extensive knowledge. I am also indebted and grateful to the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, where numerous faculty members have extended their enthusiastic support for my work. I gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance provided by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Doctoral Fellowship (2011-13), Simon Fraser University Graduate Fellowships, the Community Trust Endowment Fund Doctoral Graduate Fellowship in Humanities, and the SFU President’s PhD Research Stipend. Without this financial support, I would not have been able to complete my studies. I also extend my gratitude to graduate student colleagues who encouraged and assisted me at various stages: Lesley Cerny, Rima Noureddine, Ayaka Yoshimizu, Emma Kivisild, Sylvia Parusel, and Mary Morgan. I am particularly indebted to readers who offered feedback on chapters that helped sharpen and clarify my writing: Penny Goldsmith, Sylvia Parusel, Mary Morgan, and Katherine Doyle. For ongoing support and helping me maintain some semblance of life balance, I am eternally grateful to my circle of dear friends and family beyond academia, my book club (East Side Story), and my choir (Solidarity Notes). Their love, humour, home cooking, engaging discussions, and activist singing have nourished me in countless ways. I thank my siblings, and particularly, my brothers Chris and Michael, whose generosity, wisdom, and playfulness have been enormously comforting during the years of research which also, sadly, were the last for our vibrant parents. vii Finally, I respectfully acknowledge that this research was conducted on the unceded territories of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam, Kwikwetlam, Qayqayt, and Saanich First Nations. viii Table of Contents Approval ............................................................................................................................. ii Ethics Statement................................................................................................................. iii Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iv Dedication .......................................................................................................................... vi Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................... vii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................... ix List of Figures .................................................................................................................. xiii List of Acronyms and Names .......................................................................................... xiv Chapter 1.

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. That was when Britain established Vancouver Island, its first colony on the North Pacific coast, and granted the Hudson's 1991 CanLIIDocs 164 Bay Company fee simple title on the condition that they bring out settlers.' It is a good place to begin, because the first batch of colonists were not primarily gentlemen farmers or officials but coal miners and agricultural labourers, and neither the Company nor Vancouver Island lived up to their expectations.' The miners were Scots, brought in to help the Hudson's Bay Company diversify and exploit new resources in the face of declining fur trade profits, but * Hamar Foster is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Victoria, teaching a variety of subjects, including legal history.

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.
