Book Synopsis Nootka Sound and the Surrounding Waters of Maquinna by : Heather Harbord
Download or read book Nootka Sound and the Surrounding Waters of Maquinna written by Heather Harbord and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 1996 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Columbia's history started with one word: "Nutka." On James Cook's earliest maps, it was the sole port of entry to a whole new world. Nootka was the home base of avarice and slaughter as the sea otter was rendered extinct in local waters by American and English traders. It gained further infamy with the enslavement of John Jewitt in 1803. Always it has been the "Land of Maquinna," after the legendary chief of the Mowachahts (historically called the Nootkas). Fifteen years ago it became the discovery of Heather Harbord. The waters of Nootka Sound and the surrounding inlets lured her to their endless coves and hideaways—First Nations villages, abandoned logging camps, Spanish outposts and an ever-changing mosaic of pioneers.

Book Synopsis Among the Nootka by : Gerald Stanley
Download or read book Among the Nootka written by Gerald Stanley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Jewitt boarded a ship in England in 1802 for what was supposed to be an eighteen-month voyage around the world, he was ready for adventure. The seventeen-year-old had been enthralled by stories about China Trade, which promised enchanting islands, exotic ports-of-call, and thrills beyond the imagination. His dreams were dashed when the Nootka Indians of Vancouver Island captured him and made him a slave. But he managed to write about his experience, providing historians and anthropologists with a rare account of Native American culture before it collapsed from contact with whites. Jewitt said the Nootka were savages, degraded for their morals and customs. They were uncivilized for worshipping several gods and subhuman for enjoying rotten salmon. His writings help explain why whites were so quick to enslave Africans and push Native Americans aside. Take a glimpse into the past when people were considered inferior because they were different, and learn important lessons about why we must be tolerant and understanding by being Among the Nootka.

Book Synopsis Sea Kayak Nootka & Kyuquot Sounds by : Heather Harbord
Download or read book Sea Kayak Nootka & Kyuquot Sounds written by Heather Harbord and published by Rocky Mountain Books Ltd. This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nootka and Kyuquot Sounds are the next step for sea kayakers who have enjoyed the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound and the Broken Islands. Its wetter weather and more rugged coastline offer greater challenges as well as the rewards of pristine sandy beaches, remote islands, sea caves, rare sea otters, and historic sites. Although not quite the wilderness it was in the days of the explorers and fur traders, for those with the necessary skills, it comes close to the age old Canadian dream of wilderness and freedom. The book breaks the area down into 49 trips. These are just suggestions for planning purposes. Once out there, wind and weather will dictate where you go depending on your skill level. You'll have a more comfortable trip if you read the weather and trip planning sections before you finalize too much.
Book Synopsis The North American Indian: The Nootka. The Haida by : Edward S. Curtis
Download or read book The North American Indian: The Nootka. The Haida written by Edward S. Curtis and published by . This book was released on 1916 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] comprehensive and permanent record of all the important tribes of the United States and Alaska that still retain to a considerable degree their primitive customs and traditions. The value of such a work, in great measure, will lie in the breadth of its treatment, in its wealth of illustration, and in the fact that it represents the result of personal study of a people who are rapidly losing the traces of their aboriginal character and who are destined ultimately to become assimilated with the 'superior race.' It has been the aim to picture all features of the Indian life and environment--types of the young and the old, with their habitations, industries, ceremonies, games, and everyday customs ... Though the treatment accorded the Indians by those who lay claim to civilization and Christianity has in many cases been worse than criminal, a rehearsal of these wrongs does not properly find a place here"--General introduction.
