Forward from IPSG Post with permission from Steve Royle:

I am researching into Vancouver Island which is now part of British Columbia. My research, however, relates to the period from the 1840s to the 1860s when it was a separate British Colony, including the time when it was administered by the Hudson's Bay Company. The relationships between the company, settlers and the First Nations is part of the story. The original archives I am using contain a considerable variety of names and spellings for the various First Nations on and around Vancouver Island. I would like, if possible, to link these contemporary names to modern names. Can anybody advise me of publications which might help me in this task?

Thanks

Steve Royle
