Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Return Of The Canoe Societies tells the story of a group of First Nations paddlers who are on a replication of the Qatuwas voyage by the Canoe Societies in 1993, to demonstrate solidarity for the many remaining land claims under negotiation by the B. C. Treaty Commission. As they attempt to paddle to Bella Bella up the rugged coast of B. C., the paddlers come under physical attack by unknown opponent(s) of the Treaty settlements. First, death threats against the paddlers are received by the Voyage of Solidarity Commitee. Then the Dugout Coordinator, a Heiltsuk man named Nate Archer, mysteriously disappears after being pulled from the water following a overturning of the canoe. He vanishes in a mysterious fishboat that picks him up as he tries to swim to shore to get help for the others. Next, the owner of an old white and grey fishboat attempts to plough through the dugouts as they go in to a stopover point in Chemainus. Nate Archers body is dumped from the fishboat as it leaves. He has been shot in the head. The canoeists change their route to try and evade further attacks but are challenged by further ambushes as they struggle up the B.C. coast. Relevent history is related in the novel by a series of time-travel flashbacks that take the main characters, Rachel McBay, a Heiltsuk young woman who is a graduate Psychology student, her grandmother, Rachel McBay, the Heiltsuk ceremonial chanter, Paul Archer, an activist lawyer, who has replaced Nate Archer, and Nigel Kent, the eccentric English, film documentor hired to record the voyage, on a tour of First Nations history since the arrival of the first English settlers to B. C. They participate in the Potlatch on Village Island in 1921, the sentencing of the forty-five Kwakiutl people to prison in 1922, and their experiences there. Other historical flasbacks include a visit to the residential school system, the Nishgaa chiefs being rebuffed by Premier Smithe in 1887, the McKenna-McBride Royal Commission on Indian Affairs, Deputy Superintendent Duncan Scotts plans for Assimilation, the Nishgaa land claim strategy in 1954, and scenes of the resurgence of the culture in Alert Bay in 1965 and the logging blockage on Meares Island.

Download or read book Around the World in a Dugout Canoe written by John M. MacFarlane and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2019-09-28 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anticipating fame and wealth, Captain John Voss set out from Victoria, BC, in 1901, seeking to claim the world record for the smallest vessel ever to circumnavigate the globe. For the journey, he procured an authentic dugout cedar canoe from an Indigenous village on the east coast of Vancouver Island. For three years Voss and the Tilikum, aided by a rotating cast of characters, visited Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil and finally England, weathering heavy gales at sea and attracting large crowds of spectators on shore. The austere on-board conditions and simple navigational equipment Voss used throughout the voyage are a testimony to his skill and to the solid construction of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth vessel. Both Voss and his original mate, newspaperman N.K. Luxton, later wrote about their journey in accounts compromised by poor memories, brazen egos and outright lies. Stories of murder, cannibalism and high-seas terror have been repeated elsewhere without any regard to the truth. Now, over a century later, a full and fair account of the voyage—and the magnitude of Voss’s accomplishment—is at last fully detailed. In this groundbreaking work, marine historians John MacFarlane and Lynn Salmon sift fact from fiction, critically examining the claims of Voss’s and Luxton’s manuscripts against research from libraries, archives, museums and primary sources around the world. Including unpublished photographs, letters and ephemera from the voyage, Around the World in a Dugout Canoe tells the real story of a little-understood character and his cedar canoe. It is an enduring story of courage, adventure, sheer luck and at times tragedy.
