The Okanagan in History: Table of Contents
I have worked here since 2011 telling stories of the Earth as preparation for a history of the Intermontane Grasslands of Central Cascadia and the rainswept coast that keeps them windy and dry. Now I am presenting this history, step by step, as I have learned it, often from the land itself. The history of this region includes the Canadian colonial space “The Okanagan Valley”, which lies over the land I live in above Canim Bay. The story stretches deep into the American West, into the US Civil War, the War of 1812, and the Louisiana Purchase, as well into the history of the Columbia District of the Hudson’s Bay Company. In all, the story spans the Chilcotin and Columbia volcanic plateaus and the basins that surround them. In this vast watershed lie homelands as old as 13,200 years (Sequim) and 16,200 years (Salmon River.) That’s how far we are walking together here, who are all the land speaking.
Don Luymes of B.C. is a landscape architect you might want to research.

Thanks for the tip. I wonder what he could do for the nightmare of fantasy landscaping in the Okanagan.

Although it does appear he lives in B.F., not B.C. 😉

Harold – Very much enjoy your website – but find your L. Architect impression harsh. You need to meet a few more (ha – I’m biased with my wife and daughter as a practitioner, and graduate student), Take hope – there are educated reinforcements with bioregional awareness and design skills coming!! Here are a couple images of current work and education.
