Premier offers an apology

[GenesisGT]

the funny thing though, i can't seem to find in them who arrested the chiefs? who hung the chiefs?

Try searching, Chilcotin War, as mentioned in the Castanet article.

[BelieveNothing]

Looks like the chief of police called the meeting to set them up, so assumedly it was the police who arrested and possibly hung the chiefs.

Apologizing for something like this all the while isn't Christy Clark on the side of the big pipelines nowadays, its again about digging up and destroying their environment and way of life.

Its a slap in the face of reason.

EXCELLENT story though, thanks for posting the link.

police, but what force? neither the nwmp nor rcmp existed at that time.

it is my feeling that the names of these people need to be published. their crimes have been recognized, but the perpetrators' identities are still being hidden. you know they probably bred, their spawn walks among us i would bet.

we can now see 'judge' begbie was just a gang leader and not a judge at all.

and i guess from your searching you have noticed all documentation of the events have been scrubbed clean of the murderers names and affiliation.

I don't know if these people might have been involved - what were the years of the event again?

The British Columbia Provincial Police Force was established in 1858. Policing in the Colony of British Columbia was the responsibility of the Chief Inspector of Police (1858-1863) or Superintendent of Police (1863-1871) and in the Colony of Vancouver Island by the Commissioner of Police (1858-1866).

Yes, a matter of course.

did you notice as well all the blatant demeaning racist crap? the constant reference to the Tsilhqot'in as 'indians'.

they were certainly not 'indians' by any definition.

if they were 'indians' the land title ruling would have never occurred.

I noticed - and I notice that these two very distinct and opposing forces exist - good and evil.

What to do about evil...

Are you serious?

At the time they were refered to as Indians, no one had dreamed up the First Nations name yet.

[A_Britishcolumbian]

they were called 'indians' by bigoted racists. 'indians' were then, as they are now, persons designated as such by treaties, and the Tsilhqot'in were not at all in that category.

begbie called them 'savages'.

[Fancy]

If no one is satisfied with an apology and exoneration - what next?

[dogspoiler]

begbie called them 'savages'.

After they murdered 20 people , that would seem to fit.

[A_Britishcolumbian]

my homage to fancy :)

they may have killed 20, but it was impossible for them to have murdered anyone.

Oh, please tell me how you have come to that conclusion.
