General note
During the H.M.S Boxer tour of 1874, there were several accounts reported by the colonial news media of on board visitors to the H.M.S. Boxer. The British Colonist reported in the September 19, 1874 article “The Cruise of the Boxer” of several instances on the tour 1874. This included during a stop on September 7 at Green Cove to visit several Nuu-chah-nulth nations of the southern region, reported in the media as the “Ohiet” (Huu-ay-aht) and “Owchucklisaht”. Another instance was reported in the news occurring at a stop on September 8th at “Hecate passage north of Vargas Island” in Clayoquot Sound to visit several Nuu-chah-nulth nations of the central region, reported as the “Ahousahts” (Ahousaht) and the “Klahookwahts” (Tla—o-qui-aht). Several members of the Nuu-chah-nulth nations of the northern region, reported in the media as the “Ehahtisaht” (Ehattesaht) and the “Noochatlaht” (Nuchatlaht) were reported to have visited onboard on September 11 at “Queen's Cove”. Finally on September 13 at “Shushartie Bay” the “Nawitee” people were reported to have come on board. Photographer Richard Maynard recorded in his notebook of taking two stereos of “Indians on Board” on September 7 at Green Cove.
