[Album] : BC Historical Association trip to Nootka Sound

[Album] : BC Historical Association trip to Nootka Sound

The file consists of a photograph album of the BC Historical Association. The album contains some photographs aboard a ship in 1920, however the majority of photographs in the album document a visit of the BC Historical Association to Nootka Sound in August 1924 on the boat Uchuck. The photographs depict several locations, including San Mateo, Uchucklesit (Kildonan), Bamfield, Tofino, Clayoquot, and Kyukut whaling station, but most photographs are taken at Nootka Sound and Yuquot (Friendly Cove). Many photographs depict Nuu-chah-nulth people, totem poles and totem pole carving, the church at Yuquot, and a meeting between Walter Cameron Nichol, the 12th Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and Chief Napoleon Maquinna. Maquinna is a name that is passed down to the Mowachaht-Muchalaht Chiefs (formerly called the Nootkas).

Papers relating to Delegation to Ottawa re claims

The file consists of documentation prepared by the Delegation of Allied Indian Tribes of British Columbia (also referred to as Allied Tribes of British Columbia) and presented to various Government of Canada bodies and individuals, including acting Prime Minister Foster, the Special Committee of the House of Commons considering Bill 14, the Senate Committee, as well as the press. The Delegation representing the Allied Indian Tribes of British Columbia in Ottawa was comprised of Peter Calder of the Nisga'a [Nishga] Tribe, George Matheson of the Tsimshian [Tsimpshean] Tribe, Peter R. Kelly of the Haida Tribe, and Chief Basil David of the Shuswap Tribe, and accompanied by Special Agent J.A. Teit.

The contents of the file provide a response to Bills 13 and 14 (proposed amendments to the Indian Act), and deal largely with land and settlement issues following the McKenna-McBride Royal Commission on Indian Affairs for the Province of British Columbia, 1913-1916 (Bill 13), and enfranchisement (Bill 14). Documents in the file also provide a brief history of the formation of the Allied Indian Tribes of British Columbia.

The file consists primarily of carbon copies of submitted correspondence, however there are also some handwritten notes and 109 cards which include an individual's name and their role (typically either chief of delegate of a tribe).

Photographs : The Granby Mines, Phoenix, B.C.

The file consists of a photograph album created around 1919 featuring the activities of the Granby Mining, Smelting & Power Company at Phoenix, B.C. under the management of F.M. Sylvester. The album contains photographs of Phoenix from 1899 to 1914 including the townsite as well as winter scenes. There are also photographs of the mines and works from about 1902 to 1919.

The album has been put together in a decorative way with the business card of F.M. Syslvester, General Manager mounted on the inside cover. The photographs are arranged on each page in novel ways with decorative ink tracings. Most of the photographs are identified and many are dated. The album may have been created as a presentation album for Sylvester, who retired from Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Co. in 1920.
