I could watch History like this all day without getting tired of it. I live right in the heart of the historic gold rush trail in B.C , about an hour drive from Barkerville. When I was in my Teenager years, I lived in a small town still North of Barkerville, And I knew a man that had a gold claim. I wanted to learn how to prospect one, so he took me on as a helper. We un earthed lots of relics that were left behind from the Chinese that had been there years before. This one time I found rock carvings. They were carved like a persons foot. I watched the first one tumble down the sluice bed, and I grabbed it. It was fully in tacked with no chips, later I found the matching one, but it had been broken. The full foot was perfectly balances where if you set it on the table, you could slide a piece of paper under the heal
1858 is the same yr my Grandfather Captain James Douglas Warren came to explore the Salish Seas from PEI. He was pals with Sir Douglas, Captain Springs & McKay. He had many Schooners, Steamships & many Shipwrecks ( SSBeaver, Barbara Boscowitz etc. He opened up Trade Routes for the HBC around Vancouver Island to the Haida Gwaii. Where he married my Gram Tutsumutsa Edenshaw a Chief's daughter who was interned to Kuper Island while he was picking up body's around Vancouver Island during the pandemic. He later sold his fleet to the Union Steamship Company & opened up a Family with my Great Gramps Fred Warren called Warren Tugs on my Aunt Sarah's Songhees Village & she was the GGGrandaughter of King Freezie. Some history and only new this from 20 yrs ago.
Something many gold miners today know is that the Chinese weren't allowed to mine virgin land. After the european American miners finished mining a claim the Chinese would come in and rework the land and extracted more gold than the European miners.
What many don’t promote today is the fact that statistically Asian men and women earn more then white men and women. Think about that. Here a minority statistically is actually earning more when normally the idea is promoted that minorities are disenfranchised or victims. But those workers on government charts that are Asians buck the trend and show their work ethic does matter. I always love to look at that chart it’s like ya. Work ethic matters.
Grandfather grandfather I’m looking through all these faces of Chinese men looking for your face where are you grandfather were your grandfather I cannot find you 😔
Since we know "Jiujinshan" (舊金山, lit. "old gold mountain") was historically the name the Chinese gave to San Francisco, in Japanese the same three characters (舊金山) would be pronounced "kyukinzan" (using On'yomi) and in Korean as "gyugeumsan" (using Sino-Korean character-by-character method with romanization in Revised Romanization). However, the Japanese also use a different name for its official translation, such as Kanayama (as read using Kun'yomi).
Damnn this channel really deserves more views!! The content is really great, really informative, really really interesting. I hope this channel will have much more audience!
my grand farther worked in logging camps,ate lard,woke up in the morning cleaned the snow off his blanket. there might be misinformation on how good people had it.
I have been enjoying BC history since our catastrophic floods brought the province to attention. BUT My heart breaks at how we treated these Native Canadians and foreign immigrants.
Saying that it had to do with business practices moreso than race is so extremely naive. It’s the same as how Jews were treated all over Eu for centuries
Race is tied to business practices in a way. Some racism happens because of history. Most people aren’t pragmatic and get emotional and that’s the problem.
Google the story of a town in England where like 200 Jews were killed. Catholics and Christian’s would rile people up and say let’s go to war for Israel yeah! Well in England they did and then realized wait. If I die and don’t come back with money from war these Jews will take my farm and my family will be penniless. Anyways they killed like 200 Jews and burned or destroyed the debt and no Christians there went to war and stayed home. I’m not saying that’s right, but there’s lots of examples of Christians being lulled into war to then mortgages or give Jews everything they own for some money to fund war. Then they die or come back poor and the bankers take everything.
Also there’s different classes of Jew. Winston Churchill said there is the communist Jew as 25% of the founders of USSR were Jew and then there’s Zionist Jews wanting a home land. It’s why the west helped create Israel cause it fought against communist Jews.
But look up Joseph smith I believe sending a letter to Rothschilds in the 1840s. The Catholic Church in Rome was doing a Holocaust in the 1840s literally taking all the assets of Jews and the rich Rothschilds did nothing. It’s almost as if there’s different types of Jews or families etc. I know there’s Roman Jews or Roman’s that converted to Judaism that by blood isn’t a Jew. Jews really should be considered a religious term like Muslim or Christian and not a race. Then ya have khazar Jews that converted when forced to chose a religion.
Interesting video - maybe stop so much emphasis on discrimination. One can focus on their accomplishments. I would bet that those hard men, if they were here today, would rather a video be made on how successful they became instead of a video that turns them into victims.

Cool Story. Prospecting has me hooked!

Interesting short history of the Chinese miners and workers in British Columbia.
Something many gold miners today know is that the Chinese weren't allowed to mine virgin land. After the european American miners finished mining a claim the Chinese would come in and rework the land and extracted more gold than the European miners.
Yep it’s actually a good thing that foreign workers came to work the land. They were good hard workers.
What many don’t promote today is the fact that statistically Asian men and women earn more then white men and women. Think about that. Here a minority statistically is actually earning more when normally the idea is promoted that minorities are disenfranchised or victims.

Very interesting documentary, very professional too! Well done.
Nice to see and hear Lily Chow in this video. She has written many books on the history of the Chinese in B.C.
Grandfather grandfather I’m looking through all these faces of Chinese men looking for your face where are you grandfather were your grandfather I cannot find you 😔

Well done. Just posted this video on McLelland's Tombstone on Facebook. Thank you...
