Revolt in British Columbia in 1864
The Chilcotin War, or the Chilcotin Uprising, occurred in 1864 between members of the Tsilhqot'in (Chilcotin) people and the Colony of British Columbia. It began when fourteen settlers employed by Alfred Waddington in the building of a road from Bute Inlet through Tsilhqot'in territory were killed, as well as a number of men with a pack-train near Anahim Lake and a settler at Puntzi Lake.
