Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>Someone at the local museum found this map today and sent it to me. It's from 1892 of Stamp Harbour in <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/PortAlberni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortAlberni</span></a> near the very beginning of the settlement by colonialists in the area.</p><p>The mark that sticks out for me is “Remains of old Indian Vil.” (about 1/4 up the river in the top right). I believe this is what is properly known as “Nuupts’ ikapis” by the Tseshaht and Hupacasath First Nations. </p><p>That entire area became industrial in the past century with a large Paper Mill that employed thousands in the 1970s. It exists today. Other sawmills, the railway and government docks took over the Dry Creek land. Which is hoped to be restored to its pre-colonial natural state.</p><p>It is called “Stamp" Harbour because Royal Navy Captain Stamp literally threatened the First Nations who also had a settlement at "Dry Creek" and he “Alberni Deep Water Wharf” with the cannons on his ship if they didn't move up river to allow the settlements to be built.</p><p>So they named the Harbour after him…</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Colonialism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Tseshaht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tseshaht</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/BCPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BCPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/UKPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UKPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Settlers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Settlers</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a></p>

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸<p>This year marks 50 years since the Alberni Indian Residential School was closed. It was closed because of action by First Nations people here themselves, with the leadership of George Watts. Many other schools remained open for many more years. And the main buildings weren't demolished until 2009.</p><p>"It was in July 1973 that the West Coast District Council of Indian Chiefs (which later became Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council) sent a letter to the Department of Indian Affairs, propositioning the closure of the residential school. This letter, signed by the West Coast Council’s chairman George Watts, led to a meeting between Canada and Nuu-chah-nulth leaders. On Aug. 31, 1973, AIRS closed its doors forever.”<br><a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Tseshaht" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tseshaht</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/Hupacasath" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hupacasath</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/ResidentialSchools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ResidentialSchools</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/PortAlberni" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortAlberni</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/AIRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIRS</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/CdnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPoli</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/tags/NDTR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NDTR</span></a><br><a href="https://www.albernivalleynews.com/local-news/tseshaht-first-nation-gets-ready-to-mark-50-years-since-closure-of-residential-school-4516203" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">albernivalleynews.com/local-ne</span><span class="invisible">ws/tseshaht-first-nation-gets-ready-to-mark-50-years-since-closure-of-residential-school-4516203</span></a></p>
