  • Rethinking Sovereignty in British Columbia
    Whose Land Is It? Rethinking Sovereignty in British Columbia Nicholas Xem olt Claxton and John Price* Ŧ W̱ entral to the history of what is today known as “British Columbia” is the persistent quest by First Nations to regain sovereignty over their traditional territories: “The Sovereignty of Cour Nations comes from the Great Spirit. It is not granted nor subject to the approval of any other Nation. As First Nations we have the sovereign right to jurisdictional rule within our traditional territories.”1 Whether it be the Mowachaht reclaiming Yuquot in 1795; the Tsilhqot’in defending their territory through armed force;2 the seventy-three and fifty-six Stó:lō leaders who petitioned the superintendent of Indian affairs in 1873 and 1874, respectively, seeking settlement of the land question;3 the Tsimshian and Nisga’a chiefs demanding a treaty in 1887; the 1906 trip by Chiefs Capilano, David, and Isipaymilt to Buckingham Palace to place before King Edward VII the Cowichan petition for land justice;4 the Lil’wat chiefs’ declaration of sovereignty in 1911; the almost universal Indigenous cry for land justice during the McKenna-McBride hearings, * This article was co-researched and written by both authors. The section on SÁNEĆ sover- eignty is in the voice of Nick Claxton, a member of the community, while the other sections are in the voice of both authors. We extend our appreciation to ChristineW̱ O’Bonsawin and the two anonymous reviewers for their advice on earlier drafts of the article and the assistance of the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation. 1 Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs (UBCIC), Our Land Is Our Future: Aboriginal Title and Rights Position Paper, 1989, now referred to in Article 2 of the UBCIC Constitution as part of the guiding principles of UBCIC.

    SOCIAL POWER AND CULTURAL CHANGE IN PRE-COLONIAL BRITISH COLUMBIA1 COLE HARRIS rom the first White contacts along the Coast in the 1770s to the establishment of British colonies in the mid-nineteenth Fcentury, outside involvement in the territory that is now the province of British Columbia turned primarily on imperial geopolitical claims and the spatial momentum of commercial capital. Exogenous diseases accompanied — in some cases slightly preceded — these explicit interests. All such introductions reached into space that, along parts of the Coast and the major salmon rivers, probably supported as dense non-agricultural populations as anywhere in the world. The numerous peoples of the northern Cordillera responded to these introductions in ways that have been subject to renewed scrutiny in recent years, part of a worldwide interest in contact processes and in the strategies and tactics of colonialism and resistance. It seems useful, therefore, to review current under­ standings of the major new vectors of power in the northern Cordillera during these years and, in this light, to consider what generalizations can now be offered about social power and cultural change during the better part of a century between the first appearance of Europeans and the creation of colonies. The crew of brilliant anthropologists and ethnographers who first studied the Native cultures of the Northwest Coast in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries rarely raised questions about cultural change and social power during the early contact years. Franz Boas and others of his and the next generation gathered ethnographic information from elderly informants and sought to record traditional 1 I thank Daniel Clayton, Robert Galois, Richard Mackie, and two anonymous reviewers for comments on a draft of this essay.

  • The Fur Trade and Early Capitalist Development in British Columbia
    THE FUR TRADE AND EARLY CAPITALIST DEVELOPMENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA RENNIE WARBURTON, Department of Sociology, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 2Y2. and STEPHEN SCOTT, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6. ABSTRACT/RESUME Although characterized by unequal exchange, the impact of the fur trade on the aboriginal societies of what became British Columbia involved minimal dis- ruption because the indigenous modes of production were easily articulated with mercantile capitalism. It was the problems arising from competition and increasing costs of transportation that led the Hudson's Bay Company to begin commodity production in agriculture, fishing and lumbering, thereby initiating capitalist wage-labour relations and paving the way for the subsequent disast- rous decline in the well-being of Native peoples in the province. Bien que characterisé par un échange inégale, l'impact du commerce de fourrure sur les societiés aborigonaux sur ce qui est devenu la Colombie Britanique ne dérangèrent pas les societés, car les modes indigènes de production était facile- ment articulés avec un capitalisme mercantile. Ce sont les problèmes qui venaient de la competition et les frais de transportation qui augmentaient qui mena la Companie de la Baie d'Hudson à commencer la production de commodités dans les domaines de l'agriculture, la pêche et l'exploitement du bois. Par ce moyen elle initia des rapports de salaire-travail capitalist et prépara les voies pour aboutir å une reduction catastrophique du bien-être des natifs dans cette province. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES V, 1(1985):27-46 28 R E N N I E W A R B U R T O N / S T E P H E N S C O T T INTRODUCTION In the diverse cultures in British Columbia prior to and after contact with the Europeans, economic activity included subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering as well as domestic handicrafts.

  • Macuina Jefe De Nutka
    Macuina Jefe de Nutka By Tomas de Suria This engraving depicts the Mowachaht leader, Maquinna, wearing a woven hat decorated with whaling scenes and a cedar bark cape trimmed in fur, both of which indicate his elite status. The Mowachaht were one of the smaller bands of Native Americans who made up the Nuu-Chah-Nulth (Nootka).The original drawing was made by the artist Tomás de Suría, who was one of the official artists assigned to Spanish explorer Alejandro Malaspina’s expedition to Alaska in 1791. Suría’s images, drawn during the expedition’s 16-day stay at Nootka Sound, are among the best depictions of eighteenth-century Indian life on the Pacific Northwest Coast. The strict hierarchical structure of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth culture was divided into three tiers—an elite ruling class, a class of commoners, and a slave class comprised primarily of captives taken in battle. In this society, hereditary leaders such as Maquinna controlled and distributed every available resource in their home region. In return for granting access to resource sites such as fishing grounds, the headman received tribute from both his villagers and outsiders. It was this tradition of reciprocity that placed Maquinna at the center of Indian and Euro-American relations in the Nootka Sound region. Maquinna was culturally positioned to assume the role of middleman between the newcomers and natives, and as such his power and prestige increased accordingly. Even more important, he was able to use this newfound power to assert himself over neighboring tribes that wanted access to European trade goods.

Sager, Department of History Departmental Member Dr. Patrick A. Dunae, Department of History Departmental Member In the years between 1789 and 1792 the shores of what is now British Columbia were opened to European scrutiny by a series of mostly Spanish expeditions. As the coastline was charted and explored by agents of European empires, the Pacific Northwest captured the attention of Europe. In order to carry out these explorations the Spanish relied on what turned out to be an experiment in ‗gentle‘ imperialism that depended on the support of the indigenous ―colonized‖. This thesis examines how the Spanish envisioned their imperial space on the Northwest Coast and particularly how that space was shaped through the exploration of the Salish Sea.
