Deadly Neighbours: A Story of Colonialism, Cattle Theft, Murder...

Reimer , Chad

an e cn A closer look at the lynching of an Indigenous boy named Louie Sam on a cold night in February, 1884, just metres north of the border on Sumas Prairie, BC. The American origin of the mob, and the fact that Sam's murder was one of only two recorded lynchings in Canadian history, have led historians and writers to represent it as an isolated and foreign incident, disconnected 107915 from people and events north of the border and an aberration from the norm of Canadian history. But when placed within the historical context of that time and place, the vigilante murder of Sam no longer appears to be an isolated and foreign incident.
