It was an earthquake that shook 1,000 kilometres of land, registered 9 on the Richter Scale and sent a 10-foot-high tsunami towards Japan on Jan. 26, 1700. Today, I am looking at the giant earthquake that rocked British Columbia in the evening of that day, reshaping the land and cementing itself in stories of the Indigenous people who live there.
