Heritage Churches of the First Nations Peoples in British Columbia--chronicles existing Church structures that dot the aboriginal landscape across what was once, a wild frontier and a thriving fur trading empire. A beautifully illustrated work, with over three hundred colour photographs that will take the reader into urban, rural and remote areas of our beautiful Province of British Columbia. From Captain's Vancouver's Island, and beyond to the picturesque Gulf Islands, Lower Mainland and the famed Sunshine Coast; all revealing the rich culture of the indigenous people throughout the regions. Equally enchanting is the winding trek over coastal and inland mountain passes to the semi-arid Southern Interior and the snow capped Rocky Mountains of the Kootenay region, both in their own right boasting of great lakes and spectacular views. From this point one sets course northward to the famous gold rush regions of the Cariboo plateau and upper reaches of the far north. This new book is very informative, interesting and well documented through pictures, combining local history, architectural church elements and a legacy of aboriginal carpentry skills on a grand scale. Over ninety Churches reveal an evolution of building traditions spanning a period of more than one hundred and forty years. Each one of these old churches have a story to tell and a legacy to reveal.
