Indigenous peoples and settlers engaged in innumerable conflicts in the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia between 1849 and 1871. The constant threat of violent Indigenous resistance to settler colonization in the Pacific Northwest—both real and imagined—produced feelings of anxiety for settlers, especially state officials, that shaped colonial strategy and statecraft. To buttress colonial security, the nascent state partnered with Christian missionaries in the hope that missionaries could use education to cultivate the goodwill of Indigenous peoples and train them to accept colonization. The state’s support for early missionary schooling in colonial British Columbia is examined in the context of settler anxieties regarding three instances of Indigenous resistance: a Lekwungen convergence at Fort Victoria in 1851, the Puget Sound War of 1855–56, and the 1864 Tsilhqot'in War. In different ways, settler anxiety over these conflicts acted as a catalyst, prodding the state to support missionary schooling as a financially expeditious way of trying to contain Indigenous resistance and safeguard colonial security. RÉSUMÉ Entre 1849 et 1871, les colonies de l’île de Vancouver et de la Colombie-Britannique sont le lieu d’innombrables con its entre les peuples autochtones et les colons. La menace constante — réelle et imaginaire — d’une résistance violente des Autochtones à la colonisation dans le nord-ouest du Pacifique a engendré un sentiment d’anxiété chez les colons, et en particulier chez les fonctionnaires de l’État, ce qui a façonné la stratégie et la gestion coloniale. Afin de renforcer la sécurité coloniale, l’État naissant s’est associé avec les missionnaires chrétiens dans l’espoir qu’ils utilisent l’éducation afin d’assurer la bienveillance des peuples autochtones et de les amener à accepter la colonisation. Cet article examine le soutien apporté par l’État aux premiers efforts d’enseignement missionnaire en Colombie-Britannique coloniale, dans le contexte des inquiétudes des colons par rapport à trois actes de résistance autochtone : un rassemblement Lekwungen au Fort Victoria en 1851, la guerre du Puget Sound de 1855–1856 et la guerre des Tsilhqot'in de 1864. À maints égards, l’inquiétude des colons alimentée par ces conflits a agi comme un catalyseur, poussant l’État à soutenir l’enseignement missionnaire dans l’espoir d’arriver à contenir la résistance autochtone et à assurer la sécurité coloniale à peu de frais.

Nursery management, a course covering practices involved in production of woody landscape plants, was developed for delivery to place-bound students at distant sites around the state. Course subject matter was divided into 41 modules and involved aspects of site selection, cost accounting, plant propagation, nursery trade associations, licensing, as well as container and field production practices. Each module began and ended with a 1- to 2-min introduction and summary to the subject matter, and these segments were taped on location at nurseries in the Pacific Northwest. The lecture portion of each module was taped in a multimedia classroom, and presentation software was used to present text, slides, drawings and animation. Videotape footage of some cultural practices was also inserted into lectures as a “field trip.” Students in the course also received a lecture note guide for all modules in the course. In Idaho, the videotapes were distributed to education centers around the state. The first time the course was offered, 11 students at distant sites and three time-constrained students on campus enrolled. Students contacted the instructor by phone or e-mail. Homework assignments were sent via FAX or e-mail attachments, and tests were sent to the education centers where proctors gave three exams and a final exam. All tests and homework assignments were graded by the instructor located on campus. A videotaped course in nursery management can adequately convey principles involved in landscape plant production, but logistics of mailing videotapes and grading assignments and tests should be carefully evaluated when deciding if a course should be offered at a distance.

Abstract The western pearlshell mussel Margaritifera falcata is a species of freshwater mussel listed as vulnerable in the state of Washington. From 2007 to 2009, 265 western pearlshell mussels were transplanted from the Bear River to four streams within the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge in southwestern Washington. Transplanted western pearlshell mussels were monitored for survival and growth, as well as reproduction. Between 55% and 95% of the transplanted western pearlshell mussels could be accounted for in individual streams in 2010. Growth increments measured from September 2008 to March 2010 ranged up to 6.5 mm. Evidence of reproduction in western pearlshell mussels was observed in two streams. The project provided a rare opportunity to explore transplant techniques and gauge the success of these efforts for this species in the Pacific Northwest.
