Hi, I am on PWD with the government of BC and they notified me I have to apply with the band as I live on the reserve. Who should I contact about getting PWD? I spoke to service Canada and they insist I apply here in Quatsino. I can be reached at 7788396701

Hello. My Great Uncle and Great Uncle lived in the area over 100 years ago and had two adopted daughters. Not sure if anyone in the area has any history on them. Buchholz Channel Buchholz Channel (50˚30'00" 127˚38'00" S side of Drake I, Quatsino Sd, NW side of Vancouver I), Buchholz Rock (50˚29'00" 127˚34'00" Entrance to Neroutsos Inlet, Quatsino Sd). Capt Otto Franz Carl Buchholz (1864–1935), a native of Germany, was a sealer early in his deep-sea career. In 1892, as master of the Sea Lion, he defied US attempts to seize his vessel in Alaska for alleged illegal hunting and set an armed US marshal adrift in a small boat. The protests of Buchholz and other Canadian sealers against attempts by the US government and the Alaska Commercial Co to forcibly control the seal trade eventually resulted in the 1911 N Pacific Fur Seal Convention, which ended the pelagic hunt. Buchholz was the first keeper, in 1909, at Estevan lighthouse, which he helped build. In 1920–21 he became pilot and marine superintendent for Whalen Pulp & Paper at the company’s Port Alice mill. By 1924 he was living on Quatsino Sd at Hecate Cove with his wife, Nellie, and two adopted daughters and operating the tug Canpac. Both geographical features were named by the hydrographic service about 1927.

I purchased this plate at a local thrift store today and wanted to see if I could get information on the artist. It is such a beautiful design. Any information would be appreciated.
