Deadlines: Obits of Memorable British Columbians
Review By Patricia Roy
November 4, 2013
BC Studies no. 183 Autumn 2014 | p. 172-73
The biographies in Deadlines died between 2001 and 2011, had sufficient importance or interest to be have their obituaries published in the Toronto Globe and Mail or be considered for it, and had at least a tenuous connection with British Columbia. One of the fifty subjects falls outside these parameters. That is Gertrude Ettershank Guerin (Klaw-law-we-leth) who died in 1998. As the elected chief (1959-1961) of the Musqueam Reserve, she oversaw the introduction of such amenities as running water.

History of British Columbia
The history of British Columbia covers the period from the arrival of Paleo-Indians thousands of years ago to the present day. Prior to European colonization, the lands encompassing present-day British Columbia were inhabited for millennia by a number of First Nations.
Several European expeditions to the region were undertaken in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. After the Oregon boundary dispute between the UK and US government was resolved in 1846, the colonies of Vancouver Island and colony of British Columbia were established; the former in 1849 and the latter in 1858. The two colonies were merged to form a single colony in 1866, which later joined the Canadian Confederation on 20 July 1871.
An influential historian of British Columbia, Margaret Ormsby, presented a structural model of the province's history in British Columbia: A History (1958); that has been adopted by numerous historians and teachers. Chad Reimer says, "in many aspe
