color=#000000 face=Arial>Chinese migrants have been coming to the traditional
First Nations territories that are now known as British Columbia since the very
first moments that European migrants did. “Gold Rushes” in the mid-19th century
drew migrants from around the world to deposits of gold on the edges of the
Pacific basin: California, Australia, New Zealand, and the colony of British
Columbia. Known for creating businesses like cafés, laundries and general stores
that provided important services to miners and others, the Chinese were able to
make money in ways far beyond finding gold. They grew food and helped build
roads and bridges, as well as import goods from their trans-Pacific trade
networks. In the Cantonese language that these migrants spoke, all of these
locations came to be known as Gum San (Gold Mountain). Because of the wealth
that could be created by crossing the seas to work, Gum San became a mythic name
that long outlasted the gold rushes.</FONT></P>

the Fraser River as the corridor along which Chinese migrants engaged with First
Nations and with European migrants, and share how the history along this “Gold
Mountain River” offers us lessons for today. Learn how British Columbia became a
part of a “Cantonese Pacific” that connected with Hong Kong, San Francisco,
Sydney, and other places around the world, and how we continue to be shaped by
what happened 150 years ago.</FONT></FONT></P>
