  • The Fort Victoria Treaties
    The Fort Victoria Treaties WILSON DUFF This essay had a simple purpose when it was begun : to publish a list of the Indian place names of the Victoria area which Songhees friends had told me about from time to time since 1952. It has grown, in the course of writing, into something more complicated than that. The rechecking of the names and their meanings gave opportunities to revisit old friends, and to learn more names and more of the Songhees history associated with them. It also led to the rediscovery of some of the earlier ethno­ graphic and historical records, and to a conviction that these now need to be better known. Of the ethnographic records the most commendable are the field notes and yet-unpublished thesis of Dr. Wayne Suttles ( 1951 ). Of the historical documents, those which above all seem worthy of renewed recognition are the eleven Fort Victoria treaties of 1850 and 1852, by which James Douglas of the Hudson's Bay Company extin­ guished the Indian title to the lands between Sooke and Saanich. An identical treaty which he made at Nanaimo in 1854 has recently been judged by the Supreme Court of Canada to be still in effect, and so by implication these untidy and almost-unknown little documents have been reconfirmed in their full status as treaties. A place name is a reminder of history, indelibly stamped on the land. To enquire about it is to reawaken memories of the history that produced it. To write about it is to retell some of that history.
