28 - 'Convergences': Reframing James Cook's Arrival in B.C.

28 - 'Convergences': Reframing James Cook's Arrival in B.C.

In which we use Lionel Kearns' book 'Convergences' to finally discuss the other side of Canada! Topics include James Cook's arrival in British Columbia, contact with the Nuu-chah-nulth people of Nootka, and the importance of understanding history as a narrative. It's a big one and we love it!
