Ku on the Columbia : Hawaiian laborers in the Pacific Northwest fur industry

Archaeological investigations can reveal persistent traditions of ethnic
groups. Hawaiians were employed in the fur trade of the Columbia River from
1810 through 1850. The Hudson's Bay Company employed them at Ft.
Vancouver, Washington from 1825 through the end of this period. Data from
the excavations of the servant's village at Ft. Vancouver are compared with
the built environment of contact period Hawaii. Similarity of structural remains
suggests a persistence of tradition among the Hawaiian employees of the
Hudson's Bay Company. / Graduation date: 1993
