There are numerous First Nations<\/a> in what is now British Columbia<\/a> and Chinese people arrived on BC\u2019s shores many generations ago. Since then, Indigenous and Chinese people have interacted and forged relationships. Set in Vancouver<\/a> and other locations in BC, Cedar and Bamboo<\/em> opens with a survey of the lives of early Chinese immigrants and concentrates on addressing the more recent history of highly complex and troubled issues of interracial relationships and marriages, multiracial identity and identification, alienation and belonging. Its central focus is on the lives of four people of mixed Indigenous and Chinese ancestry and their formation of strong and meaningful identity in spite of the difficulty of reconciling divergent identities, racist laws, the complexities of familial and ethnic acceptance and\/or rejection and personal identification with and alienation from Canada<\/a> and Canadianness, China<\/a> and Chineseness and First Nations and Indigenous identity. Lil\u2019wat<\/a> elder Judy Joe reflects on being \u201cabandoned\u201d by her Indigenous mother, being sent to her father\u2019s village in China at age five, being ill treated there as a foreigner and returning to Canada as a teenager to a Vancouver from which she felt completely alienated. Musqueam<\/a> elder Howard Grant, whose Chinese father worked in the market gardens near his Musqueam mother\u2019s family, reflects on his experiences with both cultures and his principal identification as aboriginal. Siblings Jordie and Hannah Yow, now in their 20s, reflect on growing up \u201cCanadian\u201d in Kamloops<\/a> with knowledge of being quite multiracial and multiethnic but with virtually no information about either their Chinese grandfather or their Secwempec<\/a> grandmother.<\/p>\n

As a bonus- 1788: A History of Chinese and First Nations Relations in British Columbia<\/em>, 10 minutes of academic commentary from Professors Henry Yu<\/a> and Jean Barman<\/a> of the University of British Columbia and Harley Wylie of Nuu-chah-nulth<\/a> ancestry on the intersecting histories of First Nations and Chinese people in British Columbia.<\/p>\n
