  • Portraits of Aboriginal People by Europeans and by Native Americans
    OTHERS AND OURSELVES: PORTRAITS OF ABORIGINAL PEOPLE BY EUROPEANS AND BY NATIVE AMERICANS Eliana Stratica Mihail and Zofia Krivdova This exhibition explores portraits of Aboriginal peoples in Canada, from the 18th to the 21st centuries. It is divided thematically into four sections: Early Portraits by European Settlers, Commercially-produced Postcards, Photographic Portraits of Aboriginal Artists, and Portraits of and by Aboriginal people. The first section deals with portraits of Aboriginal people from the 18th to the 19th century made by Europeans. They demonstrate an interest in the “other,” but also, with a few exceptions, a lack of knowledge—or disinterest in depicting their distinct physical features or real life experiences. The second section of the exhibition explores commercially produced portraits of First Nations peoples of British Columbia, which were sold as postcards. These postcards date from the 1920s, which represents a period of commercialization of Native culture, when European-Canadians were coming to British Columbia to visit Aboriginal villages and see totem poles. The third section presents photographic portraits of Aboriginal artists from the 20th century, showing their recognition and artistic realizations in Canada. This section is divided into two parts, according to the groups of Aboriginal peoples the artists belong to, Inuit and First Nations. The fourth section of the exhibition explores portraits of and by Aboriginals. The first section sharply contrasts with the last, showing the huge gap in mentality and vision between European settlers, who were just discovering this exotic and savage “other,” and Native artists, whose artistic expression is more spiritual and figurative. This exhibition also explores chronologically the change in the status of Aboriginal peoples, from the “primitive other” to 1 well-defined individuals, recognized for their achievements and contributions to Canadian society.

  • The Memorial Album As Aide-Mémoire
    Barkerville’s Thomas Robson Pattullo in Life and Death: The Memorial Album as Aide-Mémoire Don Bourdon* hough others on Barkerville’s main street are closer to the camera, one man stands out. He is wearing a distinctive black hat, frock coat, and travelling cloak. He leans against Tthe Bank of British Columbia building with an air of importance and looks straight at Frederick Dally, the photographer. Thomas Robson Pattullo stands out in this and other Cariboo photographs from 1867 to 1869. He appears wearing similar dress, trademark sidewhiskers, and a stern expression (Figure 1).1 He was also photographed in rough work clothes, the burly miner-cum-mine owner, not afraid to get dirty, but a figure of consequence. For over seventeen years, Pattullo was a larger-than-life figure in the Cariboo. He died suddenly in 1879 at the age of forty-one, and his memorial album of Dally photographs, long forgotten, serves as a springboard for discovering more about him and the community he called home. Thomas Robson Pattullo was one of Barkerville’s most identifiable public figures during the 1860s through the 1870s, frequently mentioned in the press, in public records, and private accounts. Pattullo toiled in the Cariboo, made fortunes and lost them, and lies buried on the hillside overlooking Barkerville. Though a resident of Barkerville and nearby Stanley, Pattullo was also a bon vivant in New Westminster and * I am grateful to Margery Hadley (archivist and editor) for her insights and editing; Sharon Keen (researcher) for tips on sources; Catharine Bechard (Oxford County Branch Ontario Genealogical Society volunteer) for sleuthing the Woodstock newspapers; James Douglas (manager, Visitor Experiences, Barkerville Historic Town) for interpretive program back- ground and Pattullo observations; and Richard Mackie and the reviewers (BC Studies) for valuable suggestions.

  • Counterpoint
    Counterpoint Coming to Terms with Photographs: Descriptive Standards, Linguistic “Othering,” and the Margins of Archivy JOAN M. SCHWARTZ RÉSUMÉ Cet article confronte certains postulats des archivistes concernant les photo- graphies, en particulier en ce qu’ils façonnent le vocabulaire de notre pratique profes- sionnelle. Il suggère que les archivistes, à travers leurs normes et leurs pratiques, sont dans une large mesure responsables du fait que les utilisateurs des archives n’ont jamais apprécié à leur juste valeur les documents visuels. Parce que les photographies sont comprises et conservées de façon différente dans les bibliothèques et les centres d’archives, l’article s’attache au discours institutionnel et aux pratiques de celles-ci, particulièrement à l’usage des termes « special media » et « non-textual », à l’adoption par les RDDA du terme « graphic material » pour décrire l’art et la photographie et aux implications pour la numérisation à la pièce. L’auteure suggère enfin que, en adoptant un modèle textuel de l'information consignée et un modèle bibliographique de la classi- fication des images, nous perpétuons notre fixation sur le contenu factuel au lieu de se concentrer sur les origines fonctionnelles des images. En conséquence, nous n’arrivons pas à incorporer les idées nouvelles et stimulantes sur la réalité et la représentation, le contexte et le sens, et ce faisant, nous reléguons les photographies aux marges de l'archivistique. ABSTRACT This essay confronts certain assumptions held by archivists relating to photographs, in particular, those which govern the terms we employ in our professional pursuits. It suggests that, if users of archives have persistently failed to appreciate the value of visual materials, then archivists – through their standards and practices – are, in large measure, responsible.

  • The Cariboo Wagon Road
    THE CARIBOO WAGON ROAD he success of the Cariboo goldfields necessitated the further Timprovement of the roads to the Cariboo. In May 1862, Colonel Richard C. Moody advised Governor James Douglas that the Yale to Cariboo route through the Fraser Canyon was the best to adapt for the general development of the country and that it was imperative its construction start at once. The governor concurred and it was decided that the road would be a full 18-feet wide in order to accommodate wagons going and coming from the goldfields and thus it came to be known as the Cariboo Wagon Road. The builders were to be paid large cash subsidies as work progressed and upon completion of their sections were to be granted permission to collect tolls from the travelers for the following 5 years. Captain John Marshall Grant of the Royal Engineers, with a force of sappers, miners, and civilian labor, was to construct the first six miles out of Yale, while Thomas Spence was to extend the road the next seven miles to Chapman’s Bar, at a cost of $47,000. From here, Joseph William Trutch, Spence’s partner, was to tackle the section to a point that would become Boston Bar, a distance of 12 miles, at a cost of $75,000. From here, Spence would continue the road to Lytton. Walter Moberly, a successful engineer, with Charles Oppenheimer, a partner in the great mercantile firm ROYAL ENGINEER'S BUCKLE & BUTTONS. COURTESY WERNER KASCHEL of Oppenheimer Brothers, and Thomas B. Lewis accepted the challenge to build the section from Lytton until the road joined a junction with the wagon road to be built by Gustavus Blin Wright and John Colin Calbreath from Lillooet to Watson’s stopping house.

  • Mcbride, Patrick. Still Images, Transitioning
    Ethnohistory Field School Report 2013 Still Images, Transitioning Practices among the Stó:lō: Post-contact mortuary images and practices in a changing environment Patrick McBride University of Victoria The Ethnothistory Field School is a collaboration of the Stó:lō Research and Resource Management Centre and the History Departments of the University of Victoria and University of Saskatchewan. In surveying the implications first contact held for First Nations in North America, the discussion weaves around the impact on and between living individuals. Whether positive or negative, the impacts following first contact and subsequent colonization are narrated through the interactions and changes between fellow Native Americans and their new white neighbours. But what of the dead? While perhaps lacking an observable agency, deceased relatives may, through the living, be similarly affected by the cultural and social changes brought about by a post-contact world. For First Nations such as the Stó:lō, where the living have responsibilities for, engage with, and are in turn affected by, the spirits of the dead, changes in mortuary protocols could have meaningful consequences for both. Assessing this relationship in its historical context provides an opportunity to shed new light on the transformations Stó:lō mortuary practices faced before and after the arrival of the Western world. Images of native burial grounds found in the British Columbia Archives, dating from the 1860s to the early 1880s, several identified as within Stó:lō territory, offer an opportunity to assess the beginning of a transition to Western style burials. Historicizing these Stó:lō specific images and re- inserting this point of transition into the continuity of Stó:lō burial rituals is the goal of this project.

  • Friends of the British Columbia Archives Is Open to Everyone and Covers the Year from September to August
    1 Friends of the NEWSLETTER British Columbia Archives Vol. 14, No. 5 Royal BC Museum to Launch Crowd-Sourcing Transcription Site, Transcribe This spring the Royal BC Museum will launch Transcribe, a crowd-sourcing website that will allow the public to transcribe valuable historical records. The project aims to improve the Royal BC Museum and Archives’ public accessibility by turning handwritten, audio, and video records into searchable data. By donating their time to transcribe letters, diaries, journals, and other materials Transcribe volunteers can help share BC’s history from the comfort of home. Crowd-sourcing is an increasingly popular way for archives and museums to improve the accessibility of their collections. The concept behind Transcribe is simple – the Royal BC Museum provides digital photographs of archival materials alongside a blank text area and users type exactly what they see. Volunteers simply visit the website, choose a collection and begin to transcribe, all on their own time. The finished transcriptions are reviewed and approved by Royal BC Museum staff and the data becomes searchable on the Transcribe site. The project was initiated by the New Archives and Digital Preservation department and Archivist Ann ten Cate. “We wanted to enlist the help of volunteers to make our collections more accessible,” said Ember Lundgren, Preservation Manager. “There’s a huge, untapped resource of talented and enthusiastic volunteers, just waiting to help out. Transcribe will help us use that resource. Plus, it’s fun!” 1 Lundgren notes that visitors are not obligated to transcribe work; they will also have the option to view the materials as an online exhibition, and browse existing transcriptions.

  • Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, 1849-1900 Trent University
    COLONIALISM, CAPITALISM, AND THE RISE OF STATE SCHOOLING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1849-1900 A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, Anishinaabe Territory © Copyright by Sean Carleton 2016 Canadian Studies Ph.D Graduate Program May 2016 ABSTRACT Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, 1849-1900 Sean Carleton This dissertation examines the historical relationship between settler colonialism, capitalism, and the rise of state schooling in what is now known as British Columbia between 1849 and 1900. It aims to “unsettle” conventional views of Canadian schooling history by bringing accounts of Indigenous and non-Indigenous education into one analytical frame, and it shows how the state used different forms of schooling for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children—company, common, public, mission, day, boarding, and industrial schools—to assist colonial-capitalist social formation in the Pacific Northwest. In combining interdisciplinary insights from Indigenous studies, historical materialism, political economy, and critical pedagogy, the dissertation highlights the ways in which state-supported schooling facilitated capitalist accumulation by colonial dispossession. The central argument of the dissertation is that between 1849 and 1900, colonial, provincial, and federal governments strategically took on greater responsibility for schooling as a way of legitimizing the state and supporting the emergence of a capitalist settler society. KEYWORDS: Settler Colonialism; Capitalism; Education; Indigenous Peoples; Violence; Indian Residential Schools; History; Political Economy; British Columbia; Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I gratefully acknowledge the funding I received from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) to complete this dissertation.
