    We are trying a little different approach to story telling and making a video. Let us know what you think.

      Given the material you had to work with, I think it told the story pretty well. But always adding maps to show where this is located would be good 😊

    Thanks for sharing this important - relatively recent- history with the broader community. I remember when you worked on this site, documenting the remaining artifacts. Years ago, I found remnants of a logging camp on my property nearby. There were no early records showing this site and the related logging activity, just altered terrain that must have resulted from logging roads…

      Lisa! You found our youtube channel! I'm sure you heard me going on and on about that site... Was there logging camp rubbish at your logging camp site? Just the other day, I saw a Quartermaster Harbor mooring buoy map hanging on the wall and thought of you. It is so wonderful to see your words.

    I grew up going to Priest Point. Wasn't aware of the history of it or that the name had changed until I came across your video. Thank you!

    I always enjoy learning something new. I do wonder if you have ever approached anyone from one of the tribes to get their perspective. We are so used to history being taught from the settler perspective, I would love to hear some of the tribal memories of the same events. I realize that would add a huge amount to the already high workload of producing these videos, and I do appreciate the time and effort you put into them. It's just a thought I had. Thanks!

    • @searchingforhistory
      @searchingforhistory  Месяц назад +1

      No problem. Ask any question and I will do my best to answer. No I have not specifically approached a Tribal member on this subject. The closest I have gotten is hearing an anecdote spoken by a tribal member while attending an unrelated meeting. In a couple cases, some of the information presented in the video did come from Tribal member written accounts that we found on the internet. The video is 100% based on information we found on the internet. In the end, we just have to keep moving on to making the next video. However, if a Tribal member watches this video and wants to provide more information, we would be happy to listen and learn.

    Boarding schools is a sanitized name for what were actually concentration camps. Do you know why the people who survived were remanded to Squaxin Island by then General Stevens? This was because some families refused to sign the medicine creek treaty. They were sent to the island because it had no fresh water source on it. When they tried to leave by canoe to gather supplies they were shot at from Steamboat Island and Arcadia point.

      walking on trail along the bay, around the cove toward the north, which starts at the bay where the cannon placement sat, which would be to right. Another tid-bit, walking around the cove, then back up the other side, walking up to a slight point overlook, there used to be a gun in placement that sat there during ww2. There was a dug out pit area where it sat. I haven't been there now for over 30years.

    An interesting bit of our local history, thanks for sharing. Also a common theme often repeated around the country in our nations history but important to acknowledge and remember. Unfortunately there are those to whom this would be too ‘woke’ and would best be left swept under the rug.
