Legacy in Canada

[edit]

It's interesting that only covers his actions suppressing the slave trade have been covered, when his memory is clearest in the Pacific Northwest. His gunship, the Sutlej, leveled a dozen Indigenous villages on the coast. I'll look to find more comprehensive sources on his actions in the final years of his career, anyone's help here would be greatly appreciated.

According to this article https://bcgenesis.uvic.ca/denman_j.html Denman "ruthlessly pursued Indigenous groups that threatened British safety. For example, after Ahousaht individuals attacked the Kingfisher in August 1865, Denman destroyed nine villages, sixty four canoes, and killed at least fifteen men in pursuit of the accused". Interestingly it also says that "Denman's abolitionist views...put him in conflict with Indigenous bands in Vancouver Island and British Columbia who engaged in slavery. The rear-admiral often concerned himself with Indigenous slavery and the sale of liquor to Indigenous populations." This however does not appear to be related to the Kingfisher incident.
