Roland Family

The Roland Family

The Rolands have been on Salt Spring since the very early 1900’s. (about 1903 is my guess) Grandmother Matilda (Naukana) moved to Isabella Point just before the Isabella Point School was built. My cousin Stan Harris shared the story that his father, Kelly told him about the move from their home on Portland Island…

In order to build the Isabella Point school, a certain number of children had to register to attend. They were short one student so Matilda was asked if she would register her young son, Albert Stanley (aka Kelly). Kelly was born in 1898 and was still too young to attend lessons, but by the time the school would be completed and opened in 1904, Kelly would be 6 years old.

Matilda had been born and raised on Portland Island, the only one of William Naukana’s daughters to be born and raised in BC. (Matilda’s 5 sisters were all born on San Juan Island.)

As a child, Matilda had attended school at Beaver Point and had to row back and forth for her lessons, so to spare her children the same hardship, they made the move to Salt Spring with the promise of a new school at Isabella Point that her children could walk to. Her father, William Naukana was now 90 years old and he made the move to Salt Spring with them.


Our Indigenous roots run deep in our mixed heritage but we’ve never been able to trace where our Indigenous mothers and grandmothers came from. Their hereditary names were not recorded. Instead we find them on baptisms and marriages etc, with names that were made up and given to them by the record keepers of the day. On census records their ethnicity was often given as the same as their European husbands and their place of birth would show only that they were born in BC….not specifically where in BC.

On my fathers side, both of his grandmothers were Indigenous. His father’s mother was called Annie Fisher. She was married to James Harris of Cornwall, England and they lived in Nanaimo. His mother’s mother was known as Katherine Brown. She was married to William Naukana of Hawaii. She died when Matilda was born and little is known about her.

Surprising some new information in the past year or two comes from my Mothers family tree. Through ancestry.ca we find that her Great Great Grandmother was an Indigenous woman from the Fort Langley area (Kwantlen). This woman was T’soschia Pelek (Pal-Hal-Lak) married to James Murray Yale, Chief Trader at Fort Langley. This woman would be my Great great great Grandmother.

So, without most of the hereditary names or places of birth, tracing our Indigenous roots is difficult. Our European ties are a little bit easier to trace, at least in regards to James Murray Yale. The Hudson's Bay Company has quite a bit of information on him because of his job as Chief Trader at Fort Langley.

Tracing the Harris’s of Cornwall, England has proven to be somewhat difficult to nail down.

Our Hawaiian heritage has been not so hard to trace largely due to Hudson's Bay Company journal entries, diaries, and personal memoirs that were kept during the fur trading days. Mostly just anecdotes of where they were working or what jobs they were doing but most importantly…the dates they were there. A time line appears for them from fort to fort as employees of the HBC.

We also have the oral history that has been passed down through the generations. To quote my brother John, “Our family has always saved its treasure in stories.”

Oral history plays a vital part in Indigenous cultures. It’s the sharing of important histories, stories and teachings to new generations to teach about their history and culture in their own words to honour the ancestors.

Honoring our ancestors reminds us of who we are and where we came from. It acknowledges that our lives were built on the foundations laid by those who came before us. It reminds us that one day we will be the ancestors.

This introduction was written by Cathy (Kate) Roland in the summer of 2023. She is the daughter of Harry Roland and Laura Kean.

William Naukana

William Naukana arrived on Salt Spring Island in 1875. He is believed to have been of royal Hawaiian lineage. He worked as a guide and interpreter for ten years with the Hudson Bay Company. He was at Fort Vancouver, New Caledonia, Thomspon’s River, Fort Langley and Fort Victoria. He returned to Hawaii, but came back to the Northwest Coast living in the San Juans and later, with his partner, on Portland Island. He had at least six daughters (wife’s name unknown). The daughters had to row to Beaver Point to attend school. They later moved to Salt Spring Island. He died in 1909.
