DESCRIPTION:Event type: In-person\nTiming: The lecture starts at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm.\nLocation: Rotary Gallery of the Courtenay and District Museum\nSpeakers: Local popular historian Kim Davies\nTickets: $5 for Historical Society members; $6 for general public. Advance tickets recommended. Tickets can be purchased over the phone by calling 250-334-0686 ext 2. \nA short discussion illustrated by the work of three well known maritime artists and an exquisite new model of the Spanish schooner\, Santa Saturnina. \nThe threat of “foreign” invasion into “their” seas in the wake of the tumultuous fur trade prompted Spain to explore in Northwest Pacific waters\, at the farthest reaches of their American empire\, from 1774 until 1796. As UBC professor Tomas Bartroli noted\, it was a brief presence\, abandoned after 1795 with the conclusion of the Nootka Convention agreements. \nClick for Details

SUMMARY:Sold Out Lecture: The Coast Salish Woolly Dog
DESCRIPTION:Event type: In-person\nLocation: Rotary Gallery of the Courtenay and District Museum\nSpeakers: Researcher and writer on Coast Salish textiles Liz Hammond-Kaarremaa\nTickets: $5 for Historical Society members; $6 for general public. Advance tickets recommended. Tickets can be purchased over the phone by calling 250-334-0686 ext 2. \nThe Coast Salish Peoples bred a dog known as the Coast Salish Woolly Dog for its wool.  It started to disappear around the 1850s.  The only known pelt of a dog\, named “Mutton\,” was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in 1859 where he was forgotten in a drawer for 140 years. During that time doubt grew about the dog\, the use of its wool in blankets and the demise of the breed that devalued the cultural context and ignored the impact of colonialism. \nClick to Continue Reading
