Heritage Churches of the Indigenous Peoples of British Columbia - chronicles existing church structures that dot the Indigenous 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 Peoples throughout each region. 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, historically interesting and well documented through pictures, combining local history, architectural church elements and a legacy of Indigenous 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 has a story to tell and a legacy to reveal. In this case, the story is about local history while brief in content and the legacy is about preserving through pictures the architectural elements of church structures. This fascinating work is indeed for all ages and cultures, a remarkable read and highly recommended for our time and the generations yet to come.
