A trip into the field

A few weeks ago, I got to get out into the area where I will be doing my field work. If you are interested in the details of what I am planning on doing, you can read my research proposal. Here are some of the more interesting pictures from the trip:

Reaction Ferry at Lytton.

This is visceral example of the story of First Nations people in the Fraser Valley. An Anglican Indian cemetery perched on a pedestal surrounded by a placer mined landscape.

Close up of a parallel stacked stones after placer mining.

View of Cameron's Bar, one of the larger placer sites.



View up the Fraser looking towards Lilloett.

Overall, I am expecting a very interesting summer exploring this area.
