  • DOCUMENTS Journal of Occurrences at Nisqually House, 1833
    DOCUMENTS Journal of Occurrences at Nisqually House, 1833 INTRODUCTION F art Nisqually was the first permanent settlement of white men on Puget Sound. Fort Vancouver had been headquarters since 1825 and Fort Langley was founded near the mouth of the Fraser river in 1827. Fort N isqually was, therefore, a station which served to link these two together. While the primary object of the Hudson's Bay Company was to collect furs, nevertheless, the great needs of their own trappers, and the needs of Russian America (Alaska), and the Hawaiian Islands and other places for foodstuffs, caused that Company to seriously think of entering into an agricultural form of enterprise. But certain of the directors were not in favor of having the Company branch out into other lines, so a subsidiary company, the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, was formed in 1838 for the purpose of taking advantage of the agri­ cultural opportunities of the Pacific. This company was financed and officered by members of the Hudson's Bay Company. From that time Fort Nisqually became more an agricultural enterprise than a fur-trad­ ing post. The Treaty of 1846, by which the United States received the sovereignty of the country to the south of the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, promised the Hudson's Bay Company and the Puget Sound Agricultural Company that their possessions in that section would be respected. The antagonism of incoming settlers who coveted the fine lands aggravated the situation. Dr. William Fraser T olmie, as Super­ intendent of the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, remained in charge until 1859, when he removed to Victoria, and Edward Huggins, a clerk, was left as custodian at Nisqually.

  • Appendix 6.7-E
    Appendix 6.7-E Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts AJAX PROJECT Environmental Assessment Certificate Application / Environmental Impact Statement for a Comprehensive Study www.knightpiesold.com MEMORANDUM To: Stephanie Eagen Date: July 20, 2015 File No.: VA101-246/35-A.01 From: Toby Perkins Cont. No.: VA15-02874 Re: Ajax Project - Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts The purpose of this memorandum is present the results of assessment of potential changes in hydrology and hydraulics on the Thompson River downstream from the outlet of Kamloops Lake due to the proposed Ajax Project. Flow reductions, particularly during low flow periods, have the potential to impact fish habitat. The Project will affect Thompson River flows due to a water withdrawal of 1505 m3/hr (0.42 m3/s) from Kamloops Lake and flow reductions in Peterson Creek due to mine activities. This memorandum is a revision of the work completed by Knight Piésold Ltd. (KP) on March 18, 2013 (KP cont. no. VA13-00493), which assessed the effects of a Kamloops lake water withdrawal of 2000 m3/hr (0.56 m3/s). Hydrology The Project is located in the Thompson River Valley on the south side of Kamloops Lake. The hydrology of the Thompson River was assessed based on Water Survey of Canada (WSC) data available for the Thompson River. The Project location and the locations of relevant WSC gauging stations are shown on Figure 1. Details of these WSC stations are summarized in Table 1. The WSC operated a gauge on the Thompson River near Savona (08LF033), near the outlet of Kamloops Lake, between 1926 and 1966.

  • A MOUNT RAINIER CENTENNIAL in 1833, Dr. William Fraser Tolmie Made a Journey from Nisqually House to Mount Rainier. It Was A
    A MOUNT RAINIER CENTENNIAL In 1833, Dr. William Fraser Tolmie made a journey from Nisqually House to Mount Rainier. It was a notable undeltaking as the first near approach to the great peak. He kept a diary. Parts of that precious document have taken their places as prized publications among the works on the Pacific Northwest. An appro­ priate monument to the man and to his famous alpine excursion is found in Tolmie Peak in the northwestern comer of Rainier National Park. As the centennial of Doctor Tolmie's arrival in the Pacific Northwest approaches, many people are thinking of commemorat­ ing it. Two preliminary events are worth recording. Mr. C. B. Bagley furnishes the account of one of these, an informal celebra­ tion of the ninety-sixth anniversary of Doctor Tolmie's arrival in the Northwest. The other preliminary item is a letter proposing a centennial celebration in 1933. It was written to Mr. Horace M. Albright, Director of the National Park Service, Washington, D.C., by Asahel Curtis, of Seattle, chairman of the Rainier National Park Advisory Board. A copy of the letter was sent to The Mountaineers, Inc., and to certain northwestern newspapers. It will undoubtedly prove a sufficient impulse to produce the desired result. In that case, some picturesque chapters of local history will certainly be revived. To further the cause, the letter by Mr. Curtis is here published in full, following the account of the recent cele­ bration in Victoria.-EDIToR. Ninety-sixth Anniversary of Doctor Tolmie's Arrival On Saturday, May 4, 1929, at their residence in Victoria, the Misses Tolmie celebrated the 96th anniversary of their father's arrival at Fort Vancouver.

  • The Native Land Policies of Governor James Douglas
    The Native Land Policies of Governor James Douglas Cole Harris* n British Columbia, as in other settler colonies, it was in the interest of capital, labour, and settlers to obtain unimpeded access to Iland. The power to do so lay in the state’s military apparatus and in an array of competences that enabled it to manage people and distance. Justification for the dispossession of Native peoples was provided by assumptions about the benefits of civilizing savages and of turning wasteful land uses into productive ones. Colonization depended on this combination of interest, power, and cultural judgment. In British Columbia, approximately a third of 1 percent of the land of the province was set aside in Native reserves. The first of these reserves were laid out on Vancouver Island in the 1850s, and the last, to all intents and purposes, during the First World War. Not all government officials thought them sufficient, and during these years there were two sustained attempts to provide larger Native reserves. The first, in the early 1860s, was associated with Governor James Douglas, and the second, in the late 1870s, with Gilbert Malcolm Sproat, an Indian reserve commis- sioner who knew Douglas and admired and emulated his Native land policies. Both attempts, however, were quickly superseded. Douglas resigned in April 1864. His Native land policies were discontinued and some of his reserves were reduced. Sproat resigned in March 1880, and over the next almost twenty years his successor, Peter O’Reilly, allocated the small reserves that the government and settler opinion demanded. The provincial government, which by the 1880s controlled provincial * Editors' note: This is a necessarily verbatim version of Cole Harris's deposition as an expert witness in a forthcoming land claims case.

  • Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and Written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; Updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013
    Early Trail Building in the New Colony of British Columbia — John Hall’s Building of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails Researched and written by Ralph Drew, Belcarra, BC, June 2010; updated Dec 2012 and Dec 2013. A recent “find” of colonial correspondence in the British Columbia Archives tells a story about the construction of the Coquitlam River and Port Moody Trails between 1862 and 1864 by pioneer settler John Hall. (In 1870 Hall pre-empted 160 acres of Crown Land on Indian Arm and became Belcarra’s first European settler.) The correspondence involves a veritable “who’s who” of people in the administration in the young ‘Colony of British Columbia’. This historic account serves to highlight one of the many challenges faced by our pioneers during the period of colonial settlement in British Columbia. Sir James Douglas When the Fraser River Gold Rush began in the spring of 1858, there were only about 250 to 300 Europeans living in the Fraser Valley. The gold rush brought on the order of 30,000 miners flocking to the area in the quest for riches, many of whom came north from the California gold fields. As a result, the British Colonial office declared a new Crown colony on the mainland called ‘British Columbia’ and appointed Sir James Douglas as the first Governor. (1) The colony was first proclaimed at Fort Langley on 19th November, 1858, but in early 1859 the capital was moved to the planned settlement called ‘New Westminster’, Sir James Douglas strategically located on the northern banks of the Fraser River.

  • The Implications of the Delgamuukw Decision on the Douglas Treaties"
    James Douglas meet Delgamuukw "The implications of the Delgamuukw decision on the Douglas Treaties" The latest decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Delgamuukw vs. The Queen, [1997] 3 S.C.R. 1010, has shed new light on aboriginal title and its relationship to treaties. The issue of aboriginal title has been of particular importance in British Columbia. The question of who owns British Columbia has been the topic of dispute since the arrival and settlement by Europeans. Unlike other parts of Canada, few treaties have been negotiated with the majority of First Nations. With the exception of treaty 8 in the extreme northeast corner of the province, the only other treaties are the 14 entered into by James Douglas, dealing with small tracts of land on Vancouver Island. Following these treaties, the Province of British Columbia developed a policy that in effect did not recognize aboriginal title or alternatively assumed that it had been extinguished, resulting in no further treaties being negotiated1. This continued to be the policy until 1990 when British Columbia agreed to enter into the treaty negotiation process, and the B.C. Treaty Commission was developed. The Nisga Treaty is the first treaty to be negotiated since the Douglas Treaties. This paper intends to explore the Douglas Treaties and the implications of the Delgamuukw decision on these. What assistance does Delgamuukw provide in determining what lands are subject to aboriginal title? What aboriginal title lands did the Douglas people give up in the treaty process? What, if any, aboriginal title land has survived the treaty process? 1 Joseph Trutch, Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works and Walter Moberly, Assistant Surveyor- General, initiated this policy.
