About This Item
From the d.j.: "The first Europeans to reach the Pacific Northwest were Spanish--Perez in 1774 and Bodega y Quadra the next year. According to oral history, the barefoot native peoples thought the Spaniards had wooden feet. Captain Cook stayed several weeks at Nootka on his way to Bering Strait in 1778. The next year the Spanish set up an outpost at Nootka and were the first Europeans to live ashore on the Canadian west coast. In 1792 Dionisio Alcala Galiano and Cayetano Valdes sailed north from San Blas, Mexico in the 'Sutil' and the 'Mexicana'. Galiano circumnavigated Vancouver Island effectively disproving the existence of the Northwest Passage. His ships met Captain George Vancouver's several times and they collaborated on surveys and explorations."
