Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada ill ABSTRACT This thesis deals with a disturbance which broke out in April of 1864 when a group of ChJLlcotin Indians massacred seventeen^workmen on a trail being built from Bute Inlet to the interior of British Columbia, The main endeavours of this thesis are three-fold. It seeks to provide an accurate account of the main events: the killings and the para-military expeditions which resulted from them. It attempts to establish as far as possible the causes of the massacres. Finally, it examines the attitudes of whites towards the Indians as revealed in the actions they took and the views they expressed in connection with the uprising and the resulting expeditions to the Chilcotin territory.

  • Klinaklini Heli-Rafting Planning Your Trip…
    KLINAKLINI HELI-RAFTING PLANNING YOUR TRIP…. Thank you for choosing a R.O.A.M. wilderness rafting and hiking trip. We are very excited that you will be joining us for an unforgettable river trip through some of British Columbia’s most spectacular wilderness. In June of 1997, we put together an expedition team of professional guides for the first descent of this incredible mountain waterway. In August of the same year, we operated the first commercial trip with Men’s Journal magazine covering the event. In 1998, complete with supermodels, we operated the first all-woman descent in conjunction with the Donna Karan Corporation of New York and Marie Claire Magazine. Today, this carefully planned state- of-the-art expedition allows participants to travel where it was once unimaginable. If any of your questions remain unanswered, please don’t hesitate to call. We strive to fully prepare you for what to expect on your trip so you can spend your vacation thinking more about smelling the essence of a forest of old growth cedars or a field of Alpine wildflowers than whether or not you brought the right pair of shoes. The Terrain We Cover Rafting the Klinaklini River offers the adventurous traveller a bounty of images and experiences. Your rafting trip begins at the edge of the great interior plateau of British Columbia’s Chilcotin country, at Klinaklini Lake. This lake is a jewel encircled by pristine wilderness and it’s the perfect habitat for moose, grizzly bears, wolves, cougars and eagles. Enveloped by the peaks and canyons of the Coastal Range, you will be able to see Mt.

NOVEMBER, 1949 AN APPRECIATION. From time to time various departments of Government issue bulletins and pamphlets on one or another of the many economic, topographic, or geographic aspects of different sections of the Province. In this bulletin the Department of Railways has gathered together in comprehensive and compact form a wealth of material on the topography, resources, and industries of the district served by the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The Pacific Great Eastern Railway continues to make possible the growth and development of a rich and important section of the Province. The railway is owned and operated by the people through their Provincial Government. It is well that students in our schools should come to appreciate that section of the Prov• ince and the contribution which this railway makes to its present and future.

    PART 2 Conclusion of a 2,500-kilometre off-road odyssey through B.C.’s remote backcountry UNCHARTED Story and photos by Larry Pynn TERRITORY 38 CYCLE CANADA JANUARY 2016 39 ritish Columbia’s Chilcotin region is big country with larger-than-life characters, several of them authors. B Paul St. Pierre wrote short stories about ranch life, Chris Czajkowski detailed one woman’s experiences alone in the wilderness, and Rich Hobson recounted the early days of cattle ranching. As Murray Comley and I ride west from the Fraser Canyon into the Chilcotin, we seek yet another locally renowned figure, Chilco Choate. The retired big-game guide-outfitter described his life in three books, including one that explored his rocky relationship with the Gang Ranch. At 81, Chilco lives alone at Gaspard Lake where someone set him up on a computer with satellite Internet. He sent me an email message weeks ago with directions to his place, but today they make about as much sense as a diamond hitch on a pack horse. Murray resorts to his GPS and leads us along good gravel to a six-kilometre dirt backroad extending to Gaspard Lake. Murray’s 1995 BMW R1100G is equipped with knobby tires, but my loaner KTM 1190 Adventure is not. I’m also a short guy on a big bike unable to touch the ground without shifting my butt to one side of the seat. “If it gets too rough you can always turn back,” Murray offers. Of course, once you are half way, you’re all the way in.

  • The Chilcotin Uprising of 1864
    The Chilcotin Uprising of 1864 EDWARD SLEIGH HEWLETT The "Chilcotin Uprising" was a disturbance which broke out in April of 1864 when a group of Chilcotin Indians massacred fourteen workmen on a trail being built from Bute Inlet to the interior of British Columbia. Variously referred to in the accounts of the time as a series of massacres, as an insurrection, and as a war, the Chilcotin Uprising was the type of reaction to the inroads of Europeans which certain modern historians would prefer to label as a "resistance." "Uprising" is adequately descrip­ tive without reflecting any particular theory of social action. Numerous violent incidents involving hostility between whites and Indians occurred in the early history of what is now British Columbia. A. G. Morice gives examples of some which occurred in the interior dur­ ing the era of the fur trade.1 Though individual acts of violence occurred during this period, there is reason to believe that because of the interde­ pendence of the fur trader and the Indian a relatively stable relationship involving a considerable degree of trust had been built up over a period of time between the fur traders and many groups of native people with whom they had to do. However, this trust does not seem to have developed between the fur traders and the Chilcotins. After the Fraser River gold rush which began in 1858 clashes occurred which indicated a marked difference between the earlier relationship of Indian and fur trader and that of the Indian and those whites brought in by the gold rush.2 A difference in the roles of the fur traders and the 1 See, for example, A[drian] Gfabriel] Morice, The History of the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Formerly New Caledonia (Toronto: William Briggs, 1904), p.

    JAMES A. TEIT: HIS CONTRIBUTION TO CANADIAN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY WENDY C. WICKWIRE, Department of Social and Educational Studies, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6R 1J5. ABSTRACT/RESUME James A. Teit is well-known for his many contributions to the ethnog- raphy of the British Columbia interior Indians published between 1896 and 1930. Few are aware, however, of his very extensive collections of music recordings from these same people. Now housed primarily in Ottawa, these cylinders are complemented by detailed notes providing rich background material to this valuable collection. James A. Teit est bien connu pour ses nombreux articles publiés entre 1896 et 1930 sur l'ethnographie des autochtones de l'intérieur de la Colombie britannique. Mais très peu de gens connaissent, cependant, ses vastes collections de musique enregistrée de ces mêmes autochtones. Gardés maintenant principalement à Ottawa, ces cylindres sont parachevés par des notes détaillées qui fournis- sent du matériel magnifique de l'arrièreplan à cette collection de valeur. 184 Wendy C. Wickwire The Indians have found in you their best friend, and your anthropological work, by reason of its accuracy and reliability, has given you a world-wide reputation which many of us would be proud to possess. Your visits to Ottawa have always been a great delight to Sapir and Barbeau, and to myself… There is no one whom we hold in more honor and respect. Diamond Jenness, Letter to J.A. Teit, 6 April 1921 Introduction1 Few individuals in the annals of Canadian anthropology have contributed more than James A. Teit. His ethnographies of the Thompson (Nlaka'pamux), Shuswap, Lillooet, and Okanagan Indi- ans of British Columbia (Teit, 1900; 1906; 1909; 1930), and his monographs on Thompson ethnobotany (Steedman, 1930) and coiled basketry (Haeberlin, Teit and Roberts, 1928) are considered classics.

Primary materials are discussed as potential or existing examples of art and literature as which contributes to BC northern interior bioregional culture. The primary sources include settler memoirs, a back to the land narrative, interviews with nine settler culture residents, and contemporary poetry, installation art, and drawing set in the BC northern interior.
