The Begining of British Columbia
About 10 000 years ago, the Aboriginal populations started inhabiting BC about the time when the glaciers started retreating.
The first people in BC probably traveled from Asia via great land bridge that crossed the Bering Sea. The forests advanced as the ice moved back and the varying sea levels exposed the temporary bridge from Asia to North America.Prior to European arrival, BC’s first nations population may have neared 300 000. Until 1778 their way of life remained undisturbed until the arrival of the British.
