    1 FBCA Newsletter Volume 15, Number 1 Terry Reksten Memorial Fund Recipients 2015 The recipients of the 2015 grants from the Terry Reksten Memorial Fund have been selected! This year the Salt Spring Island Historical Society (SSIHS) and the Western Front Media Archive were chosen to receive this annual award. Each organization will receive $1000 to assist with their projects. The SSIHS, in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Salt Spring Elementary School, will use the grant to preserve and document the early history of the school district #64 (Gulf Islands). They will create an oral history by interviewing former and current students and teachers. As well, photographs associated with SSI elementary school, staff, students and community members will be digitized. The results of the project will be added to their archives and be presented on their website: saltspringarchives.com. The Western Front Media Archives represents a small arts community active in Vancouver for over 40 years. They will use the grant to improve the organization and storage conditions of the textual records dating from the 1970s and 1980s. They will re-house artist files, posters and ephemera, which include key records like contracts, correspondence and publicity materials. A staff member will create an inventory list of the contents of the boxes while they are being re-housed. The Western Front Media Archives can be browsed at front.bc.ca - The 2015 Reksten Fund Committee: Don Reksten, Deidre Simmons, Ryan Gallagher (AABC). 1 Important Reminders from the FBCA Membership renewals are now due for September 2015 to August 2016 October 18th, 2015 at 2pm will be the FBCA’s annual general meeting.

  • Miners' Meetings and Mining Boards: the Development of Mining Law In
    Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills A Thesis in The Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada September 2016 © Thomas Oscar Mills, 2016 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Thomas Oscar Mills Entitled: Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski Chair Dr. Eric H. Reiter Examiner Dr. Gavin Taylor Examiner Dr. Wilson Chacko Jacob Supervisor Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Date Abstract Miners’ Meetings and Mining Boards: The Development of Mining Law in Colonial British Columbia, 1858-1867 Thomas Oscar Mills Miners’ meetings were a customary legal practice from California that was imported to British Columbia during the Fraser River gold rush (1858). To date, there has been limited recognition of this practice’s influence on the development of British Columbia. The historical works that do exist on the subject argue that the practice was not established in the colony owing to the Colonial Government’s allowance for Mining Boards, a representative institution, by The Gold Fields Act, 1859. To the contrary, this thesis looks at the different ways that miners’ meetings and miners’ customary law were expressed and adapted to conditions in British Columbia before and after the passing of The Gold Fields Act, 1859.

  • Collective Remembering and the Structure of Settler Colonialism in British Columbia
    Commemorating John A. Macdonald: Collective Remembering and the Structure of Settler Colonialism in British Columbia Timothy J. Stanley* n the summer of 2018, following discussions on reconciliation with representatives of the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations on whose traditional territory their city is located, the city council of Victoria, IBritish Columbia, voted to remove a statue of John A. Macdonald from the entrance to city hall. Macdonald, who never actually visited Victoria and who nationalists often celebrate as the first prime minister of Canada, had been the one-time member of Parliament for Victoria, elected in 1878 for Victoria and also for Marquette, Manitoba, after being defeated in his home riding of Kingston, Ontario. Canadian nationalist narratives often celebrate Macdonald as the father of Confederation,1 the “Nation Maker” who made Confederation work, oversaw westward expansion, and welded the country together through the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. However, in practice, Macdonald’s nation-making project sought to take over the territories of Indigenous peoples and remove them from the land so that it and its resources could be exploited by people of European origins. For many Indigenous peoples, Macdonald was the chief architect of the residential schools who engineered their cultural genocide and the negative consequences that they continue to bear.2 * I would like to thank Christine O’Bonsawin and John Price for their encouragement, support, and patience with this article. I would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their assistance in developing my arguments. Frances Boyle as always is my first and best reader.

  • Chief Justice Joseph Needham's, and Judge Augustus Frederik Pemberton's Records, Discriminatory Treatment in the Courtroom Is Revealed
    White Privilege and the Making of Canada’s Injustice System: Setting Precedent for Inequitable Treatment in the Courtroom, Vancouver Island, 1860-1873 by Matthew Midolo A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Matthew Midolo, May, 2020 ABSTRACT WHITE PRIVILEGE AND THE MAKING OF CANADA’S INJUSTICE SYSTEM: SETTING PRECEDENT FOR INEQUITABLE TREATMENT IN THE COURTROOM, VANCOUVER ISLAND, 1860-1873 Matthew Midolo Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2020 Dr. Brittany Luby Dr. Catherine Carstairs Dr. Kim Anderson Canada has a longstanding history of racialized and discriminatory practices against the Indigenous population dating back to the first European invasion. During the establishment of British law on Vancouver Island, “whiteness as right-ness” was woven into the fabric of the developing justice system. Specifically, in the case of murder trials, white assailants were privileged within the courtroom, often evading the death penalty, while Indigenous assailants were hanged for related crimes. Through a careful examination of Chief Justice David Cameron's, Chief Justice Joseph Needham's, and Judge Augustus Frederik Pemberton's records, discriminatory treatment in the courtroom is revealed. These men, in tandem with the juries, oversaw the first courtrooms in Victoria, BC, from 1860-1873, and they treated Indigenous assailants more harshly than white assailants. Their records reveal that discriminatory practices in Canadian courtrooms date back to their formation. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to extend thanks to those that supported, inspired, and helped me complete this body of work. First, I would like to thank Dr.
