Ms. Que Banh<p>"Chinese and Indigenous communities have shared histories. We faced hardships together while mining for gold in the British Columbia gold rush and experiencing the rugged Canadian weather and terrain.</p><p>There are many graves on First Nations territories when Chinese people died from the flu and from the building of the railway, crushed by landslides, collapsing tunnels and premature blastings (Mittelstedt, 2014). The First Nations communities took in the Chinese railroad workers and care for their grave sites to this day (Mittelstedt, 2014). We enjoyed economic success and partnerships that were respectful and mutually beneficial (Ma, 2012). Chinese people leased lands (on First Nations) to farm and then hired Indigenous people to help farm the land (Mathur et al., 2011, p. 74). The Chinese built elaborate gold-mining operations among First Nations communities and perhaps most importantly our communities intermingled and there were many marriages between Chinese men and Indigenous women. In 1891, 98% of Chinese people in Canada lived in British Columbia (Barman, 2013, p. 1), which explains why there are such intimate ties between Chinese people and our First Nations communities in British Columbia. Unsurprisingly, one in six Chinese men created a family with a local Indigenous woman (Barman, 2013, p. 1)."</p><p><a href="https://fccrwc.com/chinese-and-indigenous-history-relationships-canada/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fccrwc.com/chinese-and-indigen</span><span class="invisible">ous-history-relationships-canada/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/BCHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BCHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/CanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChineseCanadians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChineseCanadians</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Intercultural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Intercultural</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/POC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>POC</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Coexistence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coexistence</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MutualSupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MutualSupport</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RaceRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaceRelations</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/DecolonizationReading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DecolonizationReading</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Educational" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Educational</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ChineseCanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChineseCanadianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/MixedMarriages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MixedMarriages</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/HistoryOfCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HistoryOfCanada</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AntiRacismEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiRacismEducation</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AsianMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AsianMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/LearnHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearnHistory</span></a></p>

Democratic Party candidate James K. Polk won the election on an expansionist platform, which included the annexation of the Republic of Texas.</p><p>&gt; There was considerable expansionist pressure on the Polk administration. Some American pundits argued that the rightful US claim extended as far as the border with Russian Alaska at latitude 54 degrees and 40 minutes. The popular slogan “Fifty-four Forty or Fight!” reflected the position of diehard expansionists that the United States should go to war with Great Britain if they proposed anything other than total American control of the region.’</p><p>&gt; ‘Fenian Raids</p><p>&gt; The Fenians were a secret society of Irish patriots who had emigrated from Ireland to the United States. Some members of this movement tried to take Canadian territory by force, so they could exchange it with Britain for Irish independence. From 1866 to 1871, the Fenians launched several small, armed attacks. </p><p><a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/oregon-treaty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/</span><span class="invisible">article/oregon-treaty</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/fenian-raids" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/</span><span class="invisible">article/fenian-raids</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CdnPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CdnPoli</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/CanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianHistory</span></a></p>

"Those who owned slaves were neither pilloried nor punished. Many were honoured, and the names of Canadian slaveowners dot the landscape, including Jarvis Street in Toronto, named for Samuel Peters Jarvis, the scion of a louche, slave-owning family that owned six humans and lobbied for extending slavery even in the face of an abolitionist public sentiment."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/JMJhIg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/JMJhIg</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/BlackHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackHistory</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanadianHistory</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/blackmastodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>blackmastodon</span></a></span></p>
