Ms. Que Banh"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."<a href="https://fccrwc.com/chinese-and-indigenous-history-relationships-canada/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fccrwc.com/chinese-and-indigenous-history-relationships-canada/</a><a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanadianHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChineseCanadians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChineseCanadians</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Intercultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Intercultural</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/POC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POC</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Indigenous</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Coexistence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coexistence</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MutualSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MutualSupport</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RaceRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaceRelations</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DecolonizationReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DecolonizationReading</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Educational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Educational</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstNations</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChineseCanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChineseCanadianHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MixedMarriages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MixedMarriages</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HistoryOfCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HistoryOfCanada</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AntiRacismEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiRacismEducation</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AsianMastodon</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LearnHistory</a>

Ms. Que BanhI first went to this old timber mill ruins in <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Merville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Merville</a> in the early 90s - years before it was included as part of the present <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HeadquartersTownsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HeadquartersTownsite</a> Park. It's one of the easiest accessible <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AbandonedPlaces" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AbandonedPlaces</a> you can visit in the <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ComoxValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComoxValley</a> on <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VancouverIsland</a>. I've done many past photoshoots with models here & assisted in shooting some music videos & short films here many years ago. Some folks built skateboard ramps & rail jumps inside the unroofed building ruins in the late 90s.The mill was built between 1912-1913 for the Canadian Western Logging Company. There was an entire small mill town at this location with post office, schools, medical clinic & more. The Headquarters townsite survived until the late 1950’s when the school & houses were sold for $1 each with the proviso that they be moved off company property. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Ruins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ruins</a> of the mill can be seen at Headquarters Townsite Park. The park is stewarded by local community citizens.The old concrete building at the entrance to Headquarters Townsite Park from Farnham Road was built as a rough timber mill in 1912-1913. Despite being fully equipped, the mill was never used for reasons that remain unclear. Some say the mill was only built so that the company could gain certain concessions from the BC government. The recession of 1913 may have led the company to abandon it. Parts from the mill were later used to build a new mill in Courtenay.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCTimberHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCTimberHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCLoggingHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCLoggingHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VancouverIslandHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VancouverIslandHistory</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VanIsle</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PacificNorthwest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PacificNorthwest</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Cascadia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cascadia</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNW</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/graffiti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#graffiti</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Urbex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Urbex</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ExploreVanIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExploreVanIsle</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AdventuresInTrespassing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AdventuresInTrespassing</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/NatureReclaiming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NatureReclaiming</a>

Nancy Marguerite AndersonTHE HBC BRIGADES, BLOGPOST: Here is the story of the very dislikeable man, Paul Fraser, who was killed on the Brigade trail as it passed over the Tulameen Plateau. Certainly, Anderson did not like him (and he apparently did not like Anderson). And, it appears, someone killed him in 1855 -- but that is just another story that might not be true. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BritishColumbia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BritishColumbia</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BCHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BCHistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Coquihalla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Coquihalla</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Blogpost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blogpost</a> <a href="http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-fraser/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://nancymargueriteanderson.com/paul-fraser/</a>

Nancy Marguerite AndersonTHE HBC BRIGADES, BLOGPOST: I found this an amusing story that runs all the way through the fur trade, from its early days to the modern day.
