In fact, he made his living rustling cattle, smuggling Chinese immigrants and opium across the border, and robbing trains. When ...

Not Entirely Accurate Story of Princeton's Radio Station - Presentation by George Elliott

Просмотров 773Год назад
Since the first arrival of the Chinese in North America’s Gold Mountain, the institution of the Chinese laundry has been closely tied to the Chinese community. Not so long ago, the phrase “No Tickee, No Laundry” was a not an uncommon phrase used in daily conversation in BC towns and cities. Curiously, neither the Chinese community, museum community, nor academia has shone a light on this elepha...

Bert ter Hart- Journey Across Canada on Foot and Canoe - April 1, 2022
Such a powerful exhibit. Well done. Thank you.
I'm trying to find and old photo of the last building standing in Ferguson north of Trout Lake city. It had an eyebrow window and I saw it in a book of ghost towns one time but cannot find it anywhere. When we were in Furgeson years ago I went into the attic of that house and found an old window frame. It now is on the wall of my bathroom above the sink with a mirror in it. I would love dearly to find a photo to accompany the mirrored frame
Very interesting. There is a motel in Squamish named August Jack. Wonder if there is a connection there.
Every time I've driven through the Sinclair Canyon, I've been stopped by a Dall Sheep standing, or laying down, in the middle of the road.
Canada’s dirty secret. Thanks for the video!
I'm totally curious of when the American Border got changed and where this puts this archives of History
The photo of Sinclair canyon brought to mind a very scary incident. I was riding with my friend Gary Mitchell in his parents brand-new green 1959 Pontiac 4-door car. As we entered Sinclair canyon Gary reached down to turn on the windshield wipers, but accidentally turned off the headlights instead. We were driving blindly in the dark with sheer rock walls on either side of us, while Garry fumbled to turn on the lights.
You're doing good work. ❤
Delightful
What a great interview, I grew up in NV in the 70's-2017, I really enjoyed it.
Wow! What an amaising history. Great interview.I have learned a lot & got so much closer to Vancouver.Bc.🎉❤😊.Thank you all.
Ms. Daniel's research is so profoundly important. Few have the courage it takes to pursue these topics, and what Ms. Daniel does puts her ahead of many students. Leave no stone unturned, Olivia!
I could listen to you all day! Thanks for your dedication and commitment ! 🇨🇦😇👀❤️
Loved this video and the early history of vancouver

A wonderful presentation, Elwin. Congratulations.
Thank you for your kind words. .. and thank you for watching it!
Yes! A must visit place! 🇨🇦🙏😇😀❤️👀💕🙈😍
Thanks for the presentation. Good history 👍. I think you may be being cheated on your LIKE count.
I'm commenting here about a photo posted to the Lost Kootenays Facebook page as I'm not a Facebook subscriber. Photo is captioned "This fascinating and rare early shot of CPR's (Nakusp & Slocan Rwy) is thought to be at the Rosebery Barge Slip. But we now think it might be Nakusp. What are your thoughts?" The mountain skylines and hill shapes match a Google Earth View from the Rosebery Dock site in such detail that it couldn't be anywhere else. The valley in the background is that of Dennis Creek, a tributary of Wilson Creek.
Very interesting thanks for putting this together!
After all these years it's great to see you two still singing the songs of the people that no one else will sing...Frank Holden
I attended the official opening and encourage everyone to visit this amazing,eye popping Storytelling Centre🇨🇦
Wow, this is brilliant, Elwin, thank you so much. We used to have a Chinese Laundry here in Duncan on Vancouver Island. I will link to this video from our museum and history sites.
I truly enjoyed putting this presentation together for the BCHF Conference in Princeton. I hope all viewers find it both interesting and entertaining! - George Elliott
Great presentation Elwin :-)
So proud of you Elwin. Beautiful presentation of your heritage.
Way to go Elwin! This is a good in depth presentation, with a wonderful sense of humour:) Congrats!
Good work Elwin! We'll put you in charge of the Canadian Laundry Museum!
I really want to see the original museum
My highest respect to Mrs Dawn Johnson. Thank you for your grace and wisdom these many years.
Thank you so much. This is such an important history of Chinese in Canada. Very grateful of the work presented. I look forward to visit in my next trip to Vancouver
Thank you for the Paper Trail Exhibition, a sad but important part of Chinese Canadian History.
Great interview about an important historical topic! Will have to visit in person, soon.
During my lifetime, my grandparents lived just outside Cranbrook, BC. The entire region is definitely one of our national Canadian treasures!
The good old days of colonialism and forced assimilation.
quit already
So interesting! Loved this interview. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful photos! Back in the early 90s I was at a garbage dump by 70mile house where someone had thrown out a box of old photos from the 1890s -1930s photos are mostly BC and a few of Alberta and Saskatchewan. I couldn't leave them there.
forscythe looks exactly like a guard i met while 'summering' for 6 months at the old burnaby BC jail, oakalla. it was back in '86 so i gotta wonder if his father was a guard ot maybe even a vancouver cop?
There's no blackfeet in Canadian history
David Thompson would say you were misinformed.
In the praries there are. You can tell them otherwise unless you are pretending to be smart by saying it is Black Foot. Oilberta Saskatchewan and Montana.

Good stuff. Amazing what 22 years can do.
So sorry to hear this wow wow ooo great loss off all the beautiful home made baskets 🧺 others also, God Bless you over there 👉 in Lytton BC. Prayers are with you all also, 🌹💜💞🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💜👍👍
Very interesting & Important discussion at this time in our history
Thanks very informative
I’d love to get a transcript
Yes arson is a horrible thing !
BC ruined the history ripping off the Japanese and stealing all their stuff. Shameful episode in history and a time of accepted racism. Russia lost far more people than the west and look at the tattoos we fund and arm in Ukraine now! My gramps fought said it was a scam,
Outstanding presentation!
Thanks Carol for pouring your heart and soul into this project
