リバース・インレットから追放された (22)

Rivers Inlet, a mainland fjord located on traditional territory of the ’Wuìk̓inux̌v Nation, served as the site for over thirteen salmon canneries from 1882 to the 1950s. The Rivers Inlet Cannery, built in 1882, was the first in the area and the second in BC. It closed in 1933 but continued as a camp for the Wadhams and Namu Canneries. Japanese Canadians worked at most of the canneries, including Wadhams (1883–1925), Brunswick (1893–1930), Good Hope (1895–1940), Kildala (1906–c.1940s), Beaver (1906–1941), and Goose Bay (1926–1957).

While consolidation and declining salmon stocks led to closures, many operations had self-contained residences and remained in use as gill-net stations and fish camps. Most Japanese Canadian workers resided in the Vancouver area and travelled seasonally to the inlet. The community of Rivers Inlet, a ’Wuìk̓inux̌v settlement, was a logging and fishing town where a hospital opened in 1897. In 1977, a mountain overlooking Owikeno Lake at the head of Rivers Inlet was named in recognition of Manzo Nagano.
