Japanese steel

Bullshit 🐂 black people were building the railroad before these people came.

Just came across this excerpt one day after the National Remembrance/commemoration in the Senate Chamber, Parliament of Canada, Ottawa of the 100th anniversary year of the Chinese Exclusion Act of Canada, 1923.

Thank you for your / our family stories.

The Chinese greatly aided the Americans is building the American transcontinental railroad!! Their work ethic was amazing...labored everyday under harsh conditions!

Great video and really educational Thank you

Cool

Hi my teacher made me watch this like if yours did too

I only just recently learned about the existence of Chinook Jargon and I think that its something we should have learned about in school teaching of BC history is very lacking which is a huge shame because this would have actually made socials class interesting. I want to learn more. The word "skookum" is still very massively used in BC so maybe more people in BC would have an interest in this if more people actually knew about it. A small criticism for the video itself: the left audio channel is way louder than the right.

The music is very funny lol

Woah! Hayu skookum, ukuk film! Delet tloosh nanich! Mahsi :) Seriously, you just brought to life some of the things I’ve been reading about Wawa. Thank you!

The Wikipedia story on Velma Demerson says that she took her son to Hong Kong after her release from prison. That is in conflict with what it says here.

I live in Canada and in Chinese

i finished thoe

yeah

btw the music is SOOO anoying

I have to do work on this lmao

兄弟萌好好写作业嗷

Canada did not treat people fairly. >:(

This is one of the most beautiful and historically important languages to north american and people hardly know

If you are from Mr.A social studies like this comment

Which music? I can let you know.

If anyone can tell me the name of this music I would really appreciate it.

Nice to hear chinook jargon isn't totally dead

Thank you for this film. I was a little confused until I read the description. But I think it's a rather well done scene. When worlds collide.

It was a all round blind violent attack on Asian in those days.Keep Our Country White is the slogan of the day which is silently endorse by the City of Vancouver.

For some reason the volume is very low, even at maximum setting. I cannot hear the dialog.

Hahahhaa hahhahah I am a chinuk language teacher this is funny

D 台山話超正！

Loved it. Especially the animation and green screen

Karin, this is amazing. I added the trailer to a playlist...

FYI there is a dictionary publish this year by the Grand Ronde Tribe here in Oregon. There is a two year language coarse on CJ at our local community college.

how do you know wawa? are you in kamloops area?

Klahowya! my great grandmother and great grandfather used it in Barkerville, BC when they lived their in the late 1800's, and i remember my grandmother, uncles and other relatives using Chinook jargon - which I thought was Chinese, until I did some research and realized how it got integrated into the Chinese my relatives spoke here in Canada. Then I started to learn it on my own, asking elders if they knew any words. I wanted to make a film with it, so I kept looking up words, then scripting.

where did you learn your Chinook jargon?
