Roger Patrick - Indigenous Planning Facilitator Report
February 10-14,2014 Victoria Archive - Throughout our treaty planning for 2013-2014 we had arranged two trips to Victoria, B.C. Archives on February 11/14 we attended the Archives where we located field notes of Frank Swanell, he traveled through our territory on the late 1700. He was building a telegraph lines through the Omenica Region to the Yukon territory. In those notes he had studied out territory, took a lot of photos and described each area for the government that he was working for.
Some of the photos he took were:
- Seakanni Chiefs meeting at Bear Lake
- Old Fort Connolly
- Fish Trap (1793)
As we were finding some archive materials I found some of my own notes from our archive visit last April 2013

- Babine Indian Lands
