KETTLE FALLS, A READER'S COMMENTARY ON A SITE ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER by Don Miles is a plea for consequent action during the next low-water period of the Columbia . }>ehind Grand Coulee Dam. This will probably take place in 1973. May -was a lost .. opportunity for archaeology since only the relic hunters and collectors came in numbers. Archaeologists visiting the site seem to have produced little; certainly no excavatiou of even a salvage nature was done. Being under the jurisdiction of -the Federal Government through the National Parks Division, Lake Roosevelt is out­ of•bounds for any but authorized persons to excavate. The status of surface collectors is unclear, but -usually in t he absence· of authority collectors tend to do as they please. The responsibility of investigating and reclaiming any archae­ ological material rests with the govenment or ·its agent. In the absence of any action the crisis between the professional and the amateur persists. The emergency nature of the 1973 exposure of old sites demands planning, action, and the coopera­ tion of professional and amateur in reclaiming as much as possible from important sites along the Upper Columbia.

  • Okanagan Water Systems: an Historical Retrospect of Control, Domination and Change
    OKANAGAN WATER SYSTEMS: AN HISTORICAL RETROSPECT OF CONTROL, DOMINATION AND CHANGE by MARLOWE SAM B.A., The University of British Columbia - Okanagan, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) September 2008 © Marlowe Sam, 2008 Abstract In this study, I examine the history of colonial control, domination, and change that began in the Interior Plateau region of British Columbia in 1811 when interaction between the Syilx (Okanagan) and European explorers first occurred. I focus on water use practices in particular, employing an indigenous Syilx approach (En’owkinwixw) in order to display the negative impacts of colonial policies on the Syilx and their environment. The En’owkinwixw methodology, which calls for the incorporation of multiple perspectives, is thousands of years old, but has been modified here from its original consensus-based decision-making process. The manner in which the U.S. government developed resource and water management policies in America’s arid Far West directly influenced the models that were later adopted by British Columbia and Canada. U.S. Supreme Court decisions along with a number of international treaties and trade agreements between the United States and Canada have also compromised the ability of the Syilx to maintain a sustainable and harmonious relationship with their environment. Depression era policies in the United States led to the implementation of large-scale projects such as the damming of the Columbia River that had further negative consequences on the environment of the Interior Plateau.

(courtesy Oregon Historical Society) UPPER BLOCKHOUSE (FORT LUGENBEEL) The Upper Blockhouse, also known as Fort Lugenbeel, stood at the Upper Landing in Section 37, T.2N., R7E. The structure was located atop a hill overlooking the small islands at the head of the portage along the north bank of the Columbia River. The site was first used for military purposes when in 1847, during the Cayuse Indian War, volunteer soldiers established Fort Gilliam at the Upper Landing. Also known as The Cabins, these crude buildings sheltered troops and supplies destined for service in the conflicts farther to the east. (Victor 1894:157-158). During the outbreak of the Indians in March, 1856, the military had no garrison at this site. Civilians forted up in the Bradford store while the Indians burned many of the pioneer buildings scattered about the area. By June 17, 1856, however, the Army had moved in with determination.

  • NARRATIVE of BENJAMIN Macdonald* in the Early 90'S I
    NARRATIVE OF BENJAMIN MAcDONALD* In the early 90's I received a letter from Donald MacDonald, a son of the cousin of Benjamin MacDonald, Angus MacDonald, in which letter he stated that my half brother Ranald MacDonald left a box containing documents, papers and manuscripts with a man1 living about twelve miles from Spokane, Washington, but some time ago I lost this letter and cannot now recollect the name of the man with whom the box of papers, etc., was left by Ranald MacDonald. Possibly by making inquiry of Donald MacDonald, whose address now is Dixon, a station on the Northern Pacific Railroad in Western Montana, you may be able to ascertain the name and location of the party who has the box in question and which was supposed to contain manuscripts of Ranald MacDonald's life, experiences, etc. Mr. Donald MacDonald wrote me that he had made an effort to get possession of this box but was unable to do so, the man claiming that he had to show proper authority therefor before he would let him have the property in question, and thereupon Donald MacDonald wrote the aforesaid letter to me in regard thereto. I was at that time living in Denver, Colorado. My father, Archibald MacDonald, was born in Glencoe, 2 Argyllshire, Scotland, on the 12th day of September, 1790 , and died at St. Andrews, Province Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, on the 15th day of January, 1853. On the 12th day of September, 1823, Archibald MacDonald was married to Princess Sunday, a daughter of Chief Cumcumly, at Astoria, Oregon, and as the fruits of this marriage there was born but one child, my half brother, Ranald MacDonald.

  • Isaac I. Stevens, George B. Mcclellan and the Cascade Mountains Route Columbia Magazine, Winter 1989-90: Vol
    The Young Napoleons: Isaac I. Stevens, George B. McClellan and the Cascade Mountains Route Columbia Magazine, Winter 1989-90: Vol. 3, No. 4 By Kent D. Richards The United States in the middle third of the nineteenth century was an ideal time to be alive for a young man of intelligence, energy and ambition. These were characteristics shared by a goodly number of Americans, but few could claim a greater portion of talents than Isaac I. Stevens and George B. McClellan. Each was undoubtedly ambitious, intelligent and energetic. It is equally certain that each had an ego that could negate their more positive characteristics. This combination of great talent and flawed character led contemporaries to label each as a "Young Napoleon." McClellan and Stevens were the products of well-to-do families. The former was born in Pennsylvania in 1826, the son of a prominent surgeon and teacher. Stevens, born eight years earlier in North Andover, Massachusetts, descended from a long line of prosperous farmers and mill owners. Both distinguished themselves at the United States Military Academy which, in the 1830s and 1840s, was beginning to make its mark as a training ground for military engineers. Stevens graduated first in a class of 31 in 1839 and McClellan second of 59 in 1846. Both were tested in the crucible of the Mexican War where they served with the command of General Winfield Scott on his march from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. The young lieutenants' peers included Robert E. Lee and P. G. T. Beauregard in a distinguished cadre that won numerous brevets (honorary advances in rank) and the praise of the commanding general.

  • Arrows of Time: Narrating the Past and Present," Wish to Thank Everyone Who Submitted Proposals in Response to the Call for Papers
    Introduction The organizers of this, the 39th edition of the American Indian Workshop, titled "Arrows of Time: Narrating the Past and Present," wish to thank everyone who submitted proposals in response to the call for papers. This conference has been nearly two years in the planning, and the level of interest shown by regular attendees of the AIW, as well as new participants, was encouraging. We particularly wished to highlight the historical connections –political, cultural, and academic – between the Low Countries, modern day Belgium and the Netherlands, and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Interest in Early Modern Indigenous interactions with the Dutch in New Amsterdam is growing, but some lesser-known intersections have recently begun to draw wider attention. For example, in 2016, Ghent played host to a popular exhibition on Father Pieter-Jan de Smet and his mission to the Americas. At the same time, the city’s football team came under fire for its use of an ‘Indian’ logo and mascots, giving rise to debate regarding its origins and appropriateness. Other connections, however, such as Margaret of Austria’s collection of artefacts from the New World kept at her court in Mechelen, or Frans Olbrecht’s fieldwork among the Eastern Cherokee, have garnered comparatively little scholarly attention. Secondly, we invited contributions that problematize the uses and notions of ‘history,’ especially with reference to present day conflicts. This a very timely subject as the contested past is increasingly coming to the fore in the contested present. For example, the Idle No More and NoDAPL movements of the last five years rely heavily on the relatively recent past in their discourses about the present, and projected/envisioned/anticipated futures.

  • COLVILE, Andrew PARISH: ENTERED SERVICE:1814 DATES:B
    NAME:COLVILE, Andrew PARISH: ENTERED SERVICE:1814 DATES:b. 1779 d. 1856 Appointments & Service Outfit Year*: Position: Post: District: HBCA Reference: *An Outfit year ran from 1 June to 31 May Andrew Colvile, (father of Eden Colvile) was born on the 6th November 1779, and in 1814 assumed by Royal License the name of Colvile in lieu of Wedderburn, his patronymic, because of the fact that his mother, Isabella, daughter of Andrew Blackburn, was great grand-niece and heir of the last Lord Colville of Ochiltree. Andrew Colvile's father, James Wedderburn of Inveresk, had previously assumed the name of Wedderburn Colvile in 1807. James Wedderburn was the third son of Sir John Wedderburn, 5th Baronet, who embraced the cause of the exiled House of Stuart and fought at Culloden as a volunteer in Lord Ogilvy's regiment. He was subsequently taken prisoner, attained and executed on Kennington Common in November 1746, when the Baronetcy of Wedderburn was forfeited. His father, Sir John Wedderburn, 4th Bart., had previously been deprived of his position as "Clerk of Dundee" because of the part he had taken in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. The name of Wedderburn was originally assumed from the lands and Barony of Wedderburn, CO. Berwick. To revert to Andrew Wedderburn, it must be noted in passing that his sister, Miss Jean Wedderburn-Colvile, married in November, 1807, Thomas Douglas, Fifth Earl of Selkirk, founder of the Red River Settlement - the forerunner of the existing Province of Manitoba. Wedderburn became a Proprietor of the Hudson's Bay Company in June, 1809, and at a General Court on the 17th January, 1810, was duly elected a Member of the Committee in Succession to Thomas Neave, who had disqualified.
